Leopold Aschenbrenner, a prominent German AI researcher and investor who previously worked at OpenAI, recently acquired a 5.6% stake in the cloud-based AI infrastructure company Nebius (NASDAQ: NBIS) through his Situational Awareness fund.
That purchase might seem surprising, since Nebius' stock has already rallied nearly 170% this year and doesn't look like a bargain at 19 times this year's sales. Let's see why Aschenbrenner invested in Nebius -- and if it could soar even higher through the end of the year.
