CoreWeave, Nebius and Nscale are effectively shut out of the bond market

Chart of the day

Open the chart
SpaceX looks attractive, Anthropic fairly priced, and OpenAI is still a question mark. Anthropic’s public S-1 and SpaceX’s Q3 results update the Rule of X comparison.

Public tech companies by growth plus margin against the price paid for each dollar of revenue. SpaceX sits on the line the public companies follow, and its faster-growth scenarios (the faint circles) sit further right and lower. Anthropic sits just below the line. OpenAI sits well above it, because Dealroom assumes a −45% margin for it.
