We can and do make predictions, all the time.

I think the key is whether any big customers materalize. Is the DoD in for massive amounts, or do they want it for specialty uses in smaller amounts?

I can see it going either way - people are lining up to be first to market with graphene enhanced products, OR it takes a long time for customers to figure out how to use this new material.

That's where we hope that the HGRAF team has been cultivating customers during 2025/2026, so they are ready to hit the ground running when production starts.

Probably not about Trump. In 2002, Trump was still one of the good guys in the eyes of The New Yorker.

Obviously, the article predates Epstein's legal issues. The quote from Trump where he says Epstein likes them on the young side is in there. I think there was a time when people suspected that Epstein's "dates" might be underage, but nobody knew for sure. It sounds like Trump was trying to send a message that someone should investigate Epstein...

If you go to the Olympic Peninsula, consider spending a night in Port Townsend before going into the mountains. Beautiful town surrounded by water on 3 sides. This is where the original Officer and a Gentleman was filmed.

Drop dead gorgeous town with killer views of the water and mountains (on a clear day). Great restaurants, shops, marina, etc... This is a good place to take a whale watching excursion.

The Victorian architecture in town is amazing. Beautiful government buildings and Bed and Breakfasts. It's very walkable.

That would be absolute amazing. I’m praying for $25 per share but Ai like your prediction better.


Not to be obvious, but $25 must be passed on the way to $130.

Are you saying you think it will hit $25 and stall? Or that you think it will be at $25 by 2027/2028?

My prediction is that if we get EPA approval, it will hit double digits by the end of 2026, and $50 by mid 2027. From there, we will see if is a market disruptor, or or another smell-o-vision...
FYI - this recent drop is the 3rd time this year, that NBIS has dropped 40%. It bounced bag big time the other two times.

We'll see...

If HGRAF gets EPA approval and completes the production facility, what is everyone's thoughts on what happens next?

Is it a long runway, building clients and volume over a period of years?

Or is it a short, vertical growth period with customers lining up for product and HGRAF struggling to meet demand?

Could we see a spike in stock price before production facility is completed, just based on future sales/demands?

So many ways this could play out, even if they get EPA approval and start manufacturing...

I would hope that customers try to be first to market with graphene enhanced products.

How many people complaining about out tariffs causing inflation on the one hand, but they also want to raise taxes on corporations and wealth on the other? As if those things don't cause inflation?

Interesting. I dont see much DoW stuff, but more battery related companies.

Batteries seem like a good market, if true.

The fact that you have to look for that info and they are being so low key about it shows that they are more interested in protecting their customers than in pumping the stock price up.
I think he used those exact words a few days back.

I am being aggressive here because I have another portfolio where I will get a 20%+ return. This money is something I'm being aggressive with, and I see an opportunity to double/triple my money. The cost of that is that it will be a wild ride to the end goal.

I'm hoping that once the market accepts the validity of the data centers, the stock will be more consistent and not quite as "inconsistent". Validity is not the right word. Necessity is better.

I still keep saying that I'd like them to encorporate graphene in their data centers to make them much more efficiency. The good stuff from HGRAF, of course...

Just curious what everyone thinks about this:

If HGRAF gets EPA approval, "How much will their stock go up?".

Would this be akin to a pharmaceutical company getting approval to market a new drug? I mean, we've seen companies go uo 10x or more over this news.

What do you think EPA approval will do for HGRAF?

As much as the EPA approval seems to be holding things up, I would say it will be significant. Stock goes to at least $5-6 per share.

What say you?

That makes me scared. BC they aren't buying at $130+/share


I was thinking about this one. Why would executive team take a company that is on pace to have an ARR of $8B sell for $130 a share? An $8B company should be in the $300+/share range, not $130. That would make zero sense.

That doesn't include all of the equity they have in Clickhouse, Avride, Toloka, etc...

That guys was just pulling a prediction out of his arse. This is like trying to pay Toyota prices for a Lamborghini... Not a reasonable proposition...
CRWV is going up like gangbusters - based on being invited to be part of the Tech Force team.

This is good news, to see the market react positively to positive news in the data center sector, for a change. It's been discouraging to see stock prices go down even when the news has been overwhelmingly good. If there is one nit to pick, it goes down.

The whole narrative that companies are taking on too much debt seems so contrived. Especially with regard to NBIS, which has more cash on hand than debt. Almost every company has had to spend money to make money, and at least with NEBIS, the demand is crazy high. We don't have to wonder if they can sell the GPU time.
Welcome back, BB88! Thanks for the updates. We missed your input. I hope you come back more often, especially as this thing picks up some momentum.

I still believe this is a great stock to own, BUT, I am looking long term and I said earlier that I believe this will be in the $150 range by May. That's almost doubling between now and then, which is a helluva return. I like your prediction of $250 by the end of the year. That is why I have been posting so positively in this thread.

I can feel the sentiment start to switch. There have been some articles where analysts are starting to say that the debt concern over data centers as a whole was overblown.

That's the good news. The bad news is that it definitely won't be a straight line from here to $150/$250, although I hope it stabalizes a bit as the valuation goes up. There will be great and awful weeks/months in between now and then. Hell, there will great and awful mornings and afternoons.

One thing for sure, this stock doesn't move slowly. The pendulum swings in wide arcs with this one.



I dont think they will be bought out. Arkady doesn't seem like he would go for that. I think he wants to be the best in the industry.
Im not sure anyone knows what it really means at this point.

I'd like to see them make graphene a major part of the standard data center... :lol:

I dont think data center sentiment will change overnight. I would like to see a gradual climb with an occasional spike throughout 2026. A Clickhouse IPO and guidance to profitability will probably get people's attention. The bottom line e is that they need to overcome the idea that they are borrowing so much that they can't possibly ever make a profit...

re: AI infrastructure down?

In my opinion AI infrastructure is over inflated currently. People are buying into it but little rewards on a large scale. I work in the public sector ( it has yet to take off yet and even statewide it does repetitive tasks only like admin tasks) I think in 3-8 years it will take off. Im okay with wading tge water until my stocks pay off. But they are taking a dump right now and may continue.


I think you are conflating the AI with the AI infrastructure.

The AIs are doing the tasks you're referring to. The Infrastructure is limiting what the AI can do.

Think of AI as an automobile. The infrastructure is the roads. Right now, the cars are limited as to where they can take you because there aren't a lot of roads. It's taking longer to build the roads because they have to procure the land, do the environmental impact studies, and then build the roads. The same with data centers, except they have to build the energy production for the GPUs.

The demand for more roads (data centers) is very high - companies like NBIS, CRWV, and IREN are exclusively building data centers. The companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta, and Tesla are also building data centers.

The demand for more data centers rises out of the demand for more AI. Right now, only the cities have some roads, just like there is enough data centers for the big companies. Eventually, the any company of any size will be connected to data centers for their computing needs. It will take a while before we get there.

To your original question - no it is not to early. The demand for electric cars was never enough to justify building a nationwide network of charging stations, so it hasn't happened. The demand for electric cars never exceeded the our electric capacity, as some suggested it would.

The demand for data centers, however, far exceeds the amount of compute that we have available, and we don't have enough electricity available to meet that demand. So everytime we create a new data center, we have to build a powerplant to drive it.
