Intel stock extends gains after report of possible U.S. government stake
On Tuesday, BTIG analyst Marvin Fong increased the price target on Shutter Rock Capital Corp. (NASDAQ: SSSS) to $7.00 from the previous $6.50, while maintaining a Buy rating on the stock. Currently trading at $6.13, the stock has shown remarkable momentum with a 12.68% gain last week and a 57.58% return over the past six months, according to InvestingPro data. The revision reflects the company’s promising position in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector through its investments in high-quality private companies such as CoreWeave, OpenAI, and VAST Data.
In recent investor meetings led by Shutter Rock’s Chairman & CEO Mark Klein and VP Investments Evan Schlossman, the company’s shift in portfolio strategy was highlighted, positioning it as a prime vehicle for investing in the AI space. The discussions also touched upon other topics such as upside potential in the portfolio, investment processes, portfolio valuation, selling discipline, distribution policy, and balance sheet management.
The price target adjustment followed news that CoreWeave, Shutter Rock’s largest holding, is planning an initial public offering (IPO) with an anticipated valuation of over $35 billion. CoreWeave filed its initial S-1 registration statement yesterday, confirming the upcoming IPO. With a current market capitalization of just $144.68 million and a strong financial health score according to InvestingPro, Shutter Rock offers investors unique exposure to high-growth private AI companies. This development has drawn comparisons with peer company Nebius, which is currently trading at nine times its forecasted 2025 sales. If CoreWeave were to mirror this valuation, it could potentially be valued at approximately $72 billion, based on projected revenues.
Moreover, OpenAI, another significant investment for Shutter Rock, is reportedly seeking funding that would value the company at $300 billion. This fundraising could add approximately $0.50 to Shutter Rock’s net asset value (NAV) per share. Other portfolio companies, such as WHOOP peer Oura and Canva, have also seen favorable capital raises and transactions that positively impact Shutter Rock’s valuation.
Taking into account these developments, Fong suggests that a conservative estimate of Shutter Rock’s NAV using current information would be around $8 per share. By applying a moderate low double-digit discount to this market-adjusted value, the new price target of $7 per share has been established. This estimate does not factor in potential value from other holdings within Shutter Rock’s portfolio, which could provide additional upside. InvestingPro analysis reveals the stock has a robust current ratio of 12.9, indicating strong liquidity, while analyst targets range from $6.50 to $8.70.
