SpaceX AI Unit Signs $3.4 Billion Monthly Compute Deals After Burry Doubted $1 Trillion Valuation

โดย The Motley Fool·US·Read original
Summary · why it matters

SpaceX's AI computing division has signed a string of major customer contracts worth a combined $3.4 billion per month, or $40.8 billion annually, after Michael Burry argued the company's IPO filing justified nothing close to a $1 trillion valuation. Anthropic agreed to pay SpaceX $1.25 billion per month for computing power, while Alphabet's Google signed a deal worth $920 million monthly, with Reflection AI and a still-unidentified customer adding another $150 million and $1.11 billion per month respectively. The contracts follow Burry's criticism of the company, which went public at $1.8 trillion in the largest debut in history, as a mix of a small space business, a niche telecom business, a struggling social media platform and "CoreWeave-light." SpaceX spent $15.8 billion on AI infrastructure in the second quarter alone and the division remains unprofitable, while the leases carry unusually short 90-day termination provisions that give customers an easy exit. Burry's broader argument that AI compute will eventually be commoditized still stands, and SpaceX's space launch business and Starlink must also succeed to justify its current $2 trillion price tag.

Amazon Sets Up $8 Billion Vehicle for Nvidia Grace Blackwell Chips

Amazon has established an $8 billion special purpose vehicle to buy and lease back Nvidia Grace Blackwell chips to AWS clients, an off balance sheet financing tool for AI hardware as cloud capital demands rise. Morgan Stanley has reinstated Nvidia as a Top Pick, citing its view on AI data center demand and capacity expansion. The Amazon vehicle and the Morgan Stanley call both sit inside a wider Nvidia AI infrastructure story, alongside Nvidia's own US$500 billion ecosystem financing plans. The structure lets AWS keep building AI capacity without stacking all the hardware on its own balance sheet, pointing to new funding structures that can support large orders as AI factories become more capital intensive across cloud and sovereign projects. The clearest early signal on whether the model scales would be other hyperscalers or sovereign AI buyers setting up similar chip vehicles that explicitly name Nvidia hardware, with disclosed sizes and timelines.

Nscale Hires Meta Veteran Justin Osofsky as COO Ahead of IPO

Nscale has hired Justin Osofsky, a long-term executive at Meta Platforms, to be its chief operating officer to drive rapid expansion at the AI infrastructure company ahead of its upcoming IPO, Bloomberg News reported, citing a person familiar with the matter. Osofsky, who served Meta for 18 years in various capacities and was most recently its chief partnerships officer, will report to Nscale CEO Josh Payne and lead the company's global operations. A slate of Meta veterans, including former Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg, already serve Nscale, a neo-cloud operator that rents out computing power to AI developers; Sandberg, who sits on the company's board, helped hire Nick Clegg, the Facebook operator's former head of global affairs, and Fidji Simo, a former OpenAI executive. In September, the London-based data center operator filed for a U.S. IPO, an offering expected to raise as much as $3B, Bloomberg previously reported. Meta announced the resignation in an internal post, with Chief Operating Officer Javier Olivan noting that Osofsky had brought sound judgment and steady leadership that will outlast his time here.

Nebius Group Fair Value Estimate Cut to US$283.58 as Analysts Split on AI Growth

The central fair value estimate for Nebius Group has been lowered to US$283.58 from US$312.67, reflecting more cautious Street research that weighs enthusiasm for the company's AI-focused cloud infrastructure against concerns over valuation, capital needs and execution risk. The revision came alongside adjustments to the underlying model assumptions: the revenue growth assumption moved from 181.88% to 179.89%, the net profit margin input from 7.91% to 6.96%, the future P/E multiple from 57.25x to 59.17x, and the discount rate from 8.63% to 8.73%. On the bullish side, William Blair described Nebius as not just another neocloud, citing infrastructure scale, software capabilities and major customer relationships, while Buy and Outperform ratings from Goldman Sachs, Citi, BofA, Baird, Truist, Northland, Freedom Capital and BNP Paribas carried price targets in some cases above US$300, and above US$400 and US$390 for Northland and BNP Paribas respectively. On the bearish side, Rothschild & Co Redburn initiated coverage with a Sell rating and a US$84 price target, questioning whether equity markets fully reflect leverage and off-balance-sheet commitments tied to AI infrastructure, while Piper Sandler and BTG Pactual sat at Neutral with price targets in the low US$200s, flagging a more balanced risk and reward profile including earlier concerns around the Vineland data center and comparisons with peer CoreWeave.
