AI Infrastructure Partnership (AIP), MGX, and BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) to Acquire All Equity in Aligned Data Centers
How screwed are we. I plugged a ton of info into chat gpt and it basically said we’re screwed.
quote:
A consortium led by BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), together with MGX and the AI Infrastructure Partnership (AIP), is acquiring Aligned Data Centers for approximately $40 billion. The deal includes around 50 data center campuses with 5+ gigawatts of operational and planned capacity, designed for high-density AI workloads. Aligned will remain headquartered in Dallas, with CEO Andrew Schaap staying in place. This marks AIP’s first major investment, with plans to deploy up to $100 billion in equity and debt to expand AI infrastructure globally. The acquisition highlights the growing institutional focus on AI-ready data centers as critical infrastructure for the AI boom. The deal is expected to close in the first half of 2026, pending regulatory approval, and signals major capital flowing into the AI compute backbone.

Based on current projections and risk-adjusted scenarios, NBIS (Nebius) could see a wide range of price outcomes from 2025 to 2030. In a downside scenario, with strong competition from Aligned Data Centers and high capex, the stock could trade as low as $8 per share in 2025, gradually rising to about $20 by 2030, supported mainly by its cash reserve. In a base-case scenario, assuming Nebius hits $7–8B ARR by 2026 and improves margins, the stock could start around $28 in 2025 and grow to $55 by 2030. In an upside scenario, hitting $9B+ ARR with strong execution, the stock could reach $56 in 2025, climbing to $100 by 2030. The main drivers are revenue execution, margin improvement, and capital efficiency, with downside largely cushioned by cash on hand.

I’m still reading mixed results on this saying if they deliver on everything they have agreed to, the share price would be $200-$300. JP Morgan/citizens also has a high price target on them, hard to know what to believe.
Wouldn’t we be 10 years or so away from real competition where supply outweighs demand?

Thats how i see it. Positive for us, iren, cifr etc. Positive in that.. it aint goin away by any means.

Lol I asked ChatGPT:Does this deal have any effect on the data center stocks pricing going forward. Can we still see Nbis at $150+ and exist in a space that currently demand outweighs supply
“Yes, this deal is bullish for data-center and AI-infrastructure stocks overall, and yes, NBIS (Nubis) can still realistically trade above $150+ in an environment where demand continues to exceed supply—assuming they execute.
Does this BlackRock/GIP + AIP + MGX deal affect data-center stock pricing?
Absolutely. A $40B acquisition with $100B in future committed capital puts a new institutional floor under the entire sector.
Why this pushes valuations up (not down):
(1) Validates that AI data centers = core national infrastructure
When BlackRock treats AI data centers like pipelines or power grids, public markets follow.
This increases:
• P/E multiples
• EBITDA multiples
• premium for power-secured land
(2) Confirms demand far exceeds supply through 2030
Institutional investors don’t deploy $100B unless they believe the supply shortage is structural.
(3) Boosts comps (comparables)
A $40B valuation for Aligned means companies with:
• power capacity
• high-density cooling
• long-term AI anchor tenants
• expansion pipelines
…get repriced higher.
Public comps affected:
• EQIX (Equinix)
• DLR (Digital Realty)
• IREN, CIFR, WULF (AI miners pivoting to datacenters)
• NBIS
• CoreWeave peers
• Any power-first edge players
This deal acts as a valuation anchor for the whole AI infra sector.
NBIS is in one of the strongest positions among smaller AI-infra players because:
NBIS’s strengths in current market conditions
• High-density AI capability
• Strategic partnership pipeline (Avaride, clickhouse, etc.)
• Highly constrained supply of power and land
• Dallas-centric footprint, which is a hotbed for AI campus builds
Most importantly:
?? NBIS owns or is building power capacity.
Right now, power is the bottleneck, not buildings.
Whoever controls:
• substations
• grid interconnects
• utility partnerships
wins.
If NBIS controls even a modest amount of dedicated MW capacity with ability to scale, their valuation ceiling rises dramatically.
Can NBIS still hit $150+?
Yes — the macro environment actually makes that more likely, not less.
For NBIS to reach $150+, the conditions needed are the following (and the current market is providing all of them):
(1) AI compute demand keeps doubling
This is happening.
NVIDIA, Meta, xAI, OpenAI, etc. have all stated the same:
“We can’t get enough power or datacenter capacity.”
(2) Supply shortages persist
Industry estimates show the gap between AI demand vs. power supply won’t close until 2028–2032.
NBIS lives in the exact segment where scarcity = pricing power = higher revenue per MW.
(3) NBIS executes on:
• Avaride robotics
• clickhouse deployments
• capacity expansion
• new anchors (AI tenants, training clusters)
• stable financing for new builds
If they secure just one large 100–300MW hyperscale AI tenant (which is normal in today’s market), their valuation could jump massively.
(4) M&A premium
With this BlackRock-led deal:
• NBIS becomes a possible acquisition target
• smaller AI infra players get repriced higher
• scarcity makes consolidation inevitable
A takeout at $150–200 is feasible if hyperscalers or infra funds want to lock in their power footprint.
?
?? Bottom line: Does the BlackRock/GIP deal help NBIS?
100% yes.
This deal lifts the entire sector’s valuation framework.
It confirms:
• AI data centers are critical infrastructure
• Power scarcity is long-term
• Institutional money is going to pour in for years
• Smaller operators with strategic power assets (like NBIS) will be aggressively repriced

JP Morgan/Citizens analysis did not mention and had not factored in the aligned data center deal so I believe their optimistic price targets are not valid.

The aligned data center news is bullish. You’re right, they need to raise their price targets.

Not what i have considered peers.
I dont see crwv or iren listed as peers which would be more inline with reality.
Looks like vantage, digital realty trust, cyrus one etc would/could be logical potential suitors.

Just how is the aAligned deal a negative?
Posted on 11/23/25 at 9:17 am to Mockingbird2008
PE will never run any operation as efficiently as investor/owners because they’re always looking for return. They may be disruptive but NBIS has a head start and defined model. Not just “let’s invest in it because there’s a shortage”.
Posted on 11/23/25 at 10:06 am to Jax-Tiger
My main worry is the margin pressure along with the capital intensity risk. Adding a big player bring in both of those risks. Positives are it confirms demand, though. I’m just trying not to be blinded by my investment and bull mindset.

I am confused - why are we talking about a month plus old deal as if it has some kind of impact now?
Posted on 11/23/25 at 10:47 am to igoringa
So because the article is a month old it’s not relevant? I was just curious on others thoughts as I dug into it last night. Apparently anything not bullish is not allowed here.

LOL what? Did you not explicitly state the Citizens DID NOT FACTOR this into their analysis? I think the fact it is over a month old is quite relevant to that assertion you are trying to make.
That was my point - you were the one acting like it was fresh and the analysts hadnt considered this. If you think the analysts that released in the last few weeks had not known about this deal last month - that is on you and you should be rightfully challenged on it - bull or bear.
Posted on 11/23/25 at 11:27 am to igoringa
I’m not arguing that analysts were unaware of a month-old announcement. My point is that the strategic implications of the Aligned transaction are worth discussing regardless of when the press release came out.
Yes, it’s fair to say that any research published in the last few weeks likely incorporated this information, that part isn’t in dispute, but analysts acknowledging the data and retail investors evaluating the long-term competitive impact are two different conversations.
The timing of the article doesn’t make the deal irrelevant, nor does it eliminate the possibility that its effects, capacity consolidation, capital flows, or hyperscale demand patterns, could influence Nebius over time.
So your point about analyst awareness is valid, but it doesn’t negate the broader analysis of how the transaction may shift dynamics in the space.
I will admit I’m not an expert in any of this and am just trying to get other perspectives.
I’ll go back to reading, not posting.

Lmao this. I admittedly didn’t realize we were talking about month old news. Makes the whole thing even funnier.
