Backblaze is transitioning from legacy backup to a high-growth, AI-driven Infrastructure-as-a-Service provider, targeting the neocloud data-lake layer. BLZE's B2 Cloud Storage ARR grew 28% YoY, now comprising 58% of revenue, with AI customers up 76% and driving accelerating growth. Valuation is compelling at 3.4x ARR, with operating leverage boosting margins (adjusted EBITDA margin raised to 23–25%) and no anticipated equity raises.
