Nebius Group N.V., NBIS The financial performance underpinning this rally is remarkable. First quarter fiscal 2026 revenue reached $399 million, representing a 684% year-over-year increase and 75% sequential growth. The AI business segment outperformed even these metrics, posting 841% YOY expansion to $390 million — accounting for 98% of consolidated revenue. By March’s close, annualized run-rate revenue had reached $1.9 billion, with executives noting that customer demand continues to exceed available capacity. While profitability remains elusive, adjusted EBITDA showed dramatic improvement at $130 million in Q1, compared to $15 million in the previous quarter and a $54 million loss in the year-ago period. Wall Street analysts project Nebius will achieve earnings of $0.36 per share in fiscal year 2027. Two strategic alliances have fundamentally altered investor sentiment around Nebius. Nvidia deployed $2 billion through an equity stake earlier in 2025, and Nebius subsequently earned Exemplar Cloud designation for GB300 training operations. This recognition signals substantive technical alignment with Nvidia’s hardware platform rather than superficial collaboration. Equally significant is the Meta arrangement. Nebius locked in a $27 billion agreement with Meta Platforms, which leadership indicates could unlock additional billions in financing for cloud infrastructure buildout. For a company at Nebius’ scale, these represent transformational commercial victories. The balance sheet reflects this momentum, with Nebius closing Q1 holding $9.3 billion in cash. Management guidance points toward annualized run-rate revenue between $7 billion and $9 billion in 2026. Capital expenditure plans range from $20 billion to $25 billion this year, though executives emphasized this deployment is secured by existing customer commitments for 2027 installations — not speculative capacity expansion. Nebius initiated construction this week on a gigawatt-scale AI infrastructure campus in Independence, Missouri. Spanning 400 acres, this facility represents the company’s first significant physical infrastructure project on US soil. The development is expected to generate approximately 1,200 construction positions and 130 permanent operational roles. The initiative incorporates environmental commitments — reduced water consumption, noise mitigation, and light pollution controls — alongside educational partnerships with regional schools and community colleges. These local relationships prove critical for navigating permitting processes and regulatory frameworks, particularly as energy-intensive data facilities face heightened public and governmental oversight. During Q1, Nebius expanded total contracted power capacity from over 2 gigawatts to more than 3.5 gigawatts, with targets exceeding 4 gigawatts by 2026’s conclusion. The company also announced a Pennsylvania location capable of supporting 1.2 gigawatts — marking its second planned gigawatt-scale US installation. Earlier in 2025, Nebius completed acquisitions of Tavily, Eigen AI, and Clarifai, advancing its strategy to construct an integrated AI platform spanning training, inference, and agentic AI capabilities.
