⚡ Quantum Brief
The company’s stock trades at 5.3x FY2026 EV/EBITDA, a steep discount compared to peers averaging above 20x, prompting a "BUY" rating despite recent volatility. A $865M Nscale contract for the 40MW NC-1 data center, launching May 2026, is the primary revenue driver, marking a critical inflection point for growth. By end-2026, annualized revenue is projected at $139M with $105M EBITDA, fueled by capacity expansion to 76MW and strong operational margins. Key risks include overreliance on Nscale, potential contract terminations, and challenges in fully utilizing the expanded data center infrastructure. Shares have plummeted 60% since October 2025, reflecting post-IPO correction and broader market concerns, but analysts highlight undervaluation relative to sector peers.
