LNG Tanker Leaves Sanctioned Russian Plant Bound for Murmansk
A liquefied gas tanker, which docked at Russia's sanctioned Arctic LNG 2 plant last week, appears to have left the facility and is heading toward the northern port of Murmansk, according to ship-tracking data on the Bloomberg terminal.
The Iris, previously known as North Sky and blacklisted by the US as well as the UK and the EU as part of Russia's shadow fleet, moored at Arctic LNG 2 early Friday and remained at the terminal for around two days, the data shows.

This Home Run Growth Stock Is Too Good to Ignore
Investors are beginning to appreciate the growth plans of hyperscaler Nebius. Nvidia is an investor in and partner to Nebius. If Nebius achieves the revenue growth that management says it's on track for, its stock should run higher. 10 stocks we like better than Nebius Group › The investing community is beginning to take notice of Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS). I say that largely based on the almost 150% surge in its share price since mid-April. There's a reason behind that, though. Nebius has been executing on its plan to grow its revenues to a level that would justify a valuation well above its current one. The company, which went public in May 2011 under the name Yandex, was originally a Russian search engine company. The stock peaked in late 2021. It now trades as Amsterdam-based Nebius Group more than 40% off that previous high. Nebius sprouted as the cloud computing arm of Russian e-services giant Yandex. It was formed after Yandex restructured and divested all of its Russian assets in July 2024. It resumed trading on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange under the Nebius name in late October 2024. The stock remains far below its Yandex-era highs since the post-transition business has yet to fully demonstrate its potential for growing revenue. But Nebius management is giving investors a good idea of how to value that expected growth. If its assessment proves accurate, Nebius stock would be a good buy at recent prices. Nebius' core business is cloud infrastructure. It's one of a growing number of hyperscalers supplying the computing power needed in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). Hyperscalers like Nebius have the massive amounts of data center infrastructure that it takes to supply cloud computing services on a global level. It competes with leading players like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Alphabet's Google Cloud. While its cloud infrastructure and services segment is Nebius' core business, the company has four business segments, all in specific areas of the AI ecosystem: Nebius (cloud infrastructure): The core business, providing infrastructure from a network of data centers for AI workloads, including large-scale GPU clusters, cloud platforms, and developer tools. Toloka: A data partner with a network of human specialists to test and evaluate large language models (LLMs) in generative AI development. TripleTen: A technology platform focused on reskilling individuals for tech careers, leveraging AI-driven educational tools. Avride: Developing autonomous driving technology for self-driving cars and delivery robots, targeting sectors like ride-hailing, logistics, e-commerce, and food delivery. Nebius' work in the AI ecosystem has attracted the attention of AI leader Nvidia. The chipmaker participated in a $700 million private funding round for Nebius late last year. Nvidia also owns more than 1 million shares of Nebius stock. Nebius is leading the way in providing computing capacity from Nvidia's GB200 Blackwell Superchips to European customers. The GB200 is a key component in the architecture of Nvidia CPU and GPU liquid-cooled server racks, including networking links for AI model inference. Nebius' partnership with Nvidia gives the cloud services company the ability to scale at a rate that management says will result in an annualized revenue run rate of between $750 million and $1 billion by the end of 2025. It also expects to reach positive adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) this year. The upper end of that revenue run rate would give Nebius a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of about 12.5, even after the stock's recent surge. That appears to be a reasonable valuation for such a fast-growing tech company. By comparison, fellow cloud AI infrastructure provider CoreWeave sports a P/S ratio of about 15 based on this year's revenue guidance. Nebius may now be showing up on some tech investors' radars, but it still isn't being valued as richly as it could be. If Nebius does achieve the sales growth management says it's on track to reach this year, the stock could have more room to run over both the short and long term.

Trump Says Iran Might Get Sanctions Relief If It Can Be Peaceful
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump suggested he might back eventual sanctions relief for Iran 'if they can be peaceful,' combining threats and the prospect of diplomacy after US strikes aimed at destroying Iranian nuclear sites. Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown Sao Paulo Pushes Out Favela Residents, Drug Users to Revive Its City Center 'We have the sanctions on,' Trump said in comments on Fox News's Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo. 'And if they do a job, and if they can be peaceful, and if they can show us they're not going to do any more harm, I would take the sanctions off.' Trump said Friday he considered easing sanctions on Iran after a ceasefire but would instead keep them in place, while lashing out at Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei for claiming victory in the war with Israel. That followed his comments last week hinting at relief when he said he doesn't mind China continuing to buy Iranian oil. White House officials later indicated that didn't mean an easing of US restrictions. In the Fox News interview, which was taped Friday, Trump renewed his argument that Iran was weeks away from getting a nuclear weapon and that US strikes 'obliterated' a key underground site of Iran's nuclear program. He also injected a note of caution, saying that Iran's nuclear ambitions had been set back 'at least for a period of time.' US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a foreign-policy hawk who's close to Trump, suggested the US require that Iran recognize Israel's right to exist as a condition for resuming US-Iranian talks which went through several inconclusive rounds this year. 'They have to say, for the first time — the Iranian regime — we recognize Israel's right to exist,' Graham said Sunday on ABC's This Week. 'If they can't say that, you're never going to get a deal worth a damn.' The head of the United Nations nuclear monitoring agency disputed the Trump administration's claims about the level of damage to Iran's nuclear program from US strikes, which targeted its uranium enrichment capabilities. 'One cannot claim that everything has disappeared and there is nothing there,' Rafael Mariano Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said on CBS's Face the Nation. 'It is clear that there has been severe damage, but it's not total damage.' Iran has industrial and technological capabilities to resume producing enriched uranium possibly 'in a matter of months,' he said. 'So if they so wish, they will be able to start doing this again.' He cautioned that damage assessment isn't the IAEA's job and the agency's information on the state of Iran's nuclear program is limited.

Russian Barrage of Drones and Missiles Hits Beyond Usual Ukraine Targets
Russia pounded Ukraine overnight with hundreds of drones and missiles, the Ukrainian authorities said on Sunday, in one of the war's largest assaults. Strikes on infrastructure were reported across the country, including in western Ukraine, which Russia hits less frequently. The attack was the latest in a series of escalating Russian air assaults, with Moscow repeatedly setting new marks for the number of weapons used. The Ukrainian Air Force said Russia had launched 537 drones and missiles overnight — the highest number recorded in a single night so far. The figure includes nonlethal decoy drones designed to confuse Ukrainian air defenses, which Russia has begun using on a mass scale only in the past year, making comparisons with attacks earlier in the war difficult. Still, the decoys have significant effects. Ukraine's military is forced to use its limited stockpiles of air defense missiles to counter Russia's large-scale assaults, which military experts and Ukrainian officials say are aimed at overwhelming Ukraine's air defense units on the ground. The air defense missiles are the only weapons capable of shooting down incoming missiles. Ukraine's air force said about 90 percent of the Russian drones were intercepted, were disabled by electronic jamming, or crashed without causing damage because they were decoys. But it added that only two-thirds of the missiles that Russia fired were shot down, including just one of seven ballistic missiles. These figures could not be independently verified. It was unclear whether any civilians were killed during the overnight attack. But the Ukrainian Air Force reported the death of a pilot who crashed in his American-designed F-16 jet as he was trying to repel the Russian assault. Ukraine uses fighter jets to shoot down incoming missiles, for lack of enough ground-based air defenses. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
