Nebius Group

Nebius Group N.V. is an Amsterdam company that sells AI cloud services: GPU capacity, a software platform and a managed inference service (Token Factory) for companies that train and run AI models. Revenue was $980.8 million in Q3 2026, up 571% from $146.1 million, and the AI cloud business made about 99% of it. Annualized run-rate revenue was $6.4 billion at the end of September 2026, and remaining performance obligations were $38.7 billion. The group also owns Avride (autonomous vehicles and delivery robots) and TripleTen (education), and holds equity stakes in ClickHouse and Toloka.

Nebius has more than 4 gigawatts (GW) of contracted power and expects 5 GW by the end of 2026. Arkady Volozh is founder and Chief Executive Officer. Nebius is a foreign private issuer: it files a Form 20-F each year and furnishes its results on Form 6-K. The pick is the Class A share on NASDAQ (NBIS), in US dollars.

The market prices Nebius as a young AI cloud company that must borrow a very large amount to build the capacity it has already sold. Revenue grew 571% in Q3 2026 and the AI cloud business had an adjusted EBITDA margin of 53.2%. But capital spending was about $7.3 billion in the quarter, debt on the balance sheet was $14.2 billion at September 30, 2026, and Nebius signed a $3.5 billion bridge loan in October that matures in October 2027. Delays at third-party data centers moved some capacity into the first half of 2027, so Nebius now expects 2026 revenue at the low end of its $3.0 billion to $3.4 billion range.

Customers pay in advance for much of the capacity: deferred revenue was $9.4 billion at September 30, and prepayments on deals signed in Q3 covered more than 100% of their capital spending. For the price to rise, Nebius must reach its 2027 outlook of $12 billion to $13 billion of revenue and a pre-tax breakeven in Q4 2027, bring its owned sites online on time, and pay for $40 billion to $45 billion of capital spending in 2027 without selling many more shares. The Q4 2026 report, which Nebius has not dated yet, is the next test. The gap can close only over several years of building and filling capacity.

Every passed and failed checkpoint across all picks

• November 12, 2026Nebius reported Q3 2026 results. Revenue was $980.8 million, up 571%, and adjusted EBITDA was $465.8 million. The net loss from continuing operations was $37.5 million. Annualized run-rate revenue was $6.4 billion at the end of September. Delivery at some third-party sites moved into the first half of 2027, so Nebius now expects 2026 revenue at the low end of its $3.0 billion to $3.4 billion range and annualized run-rate revenue above $7 billion in February 2027, not December 2026. It expects 2026 capital spending of about $27 billion. For 2027 it expects revenue of $12 billion to $13 billion, capital spending of $40 billion to $45 billion and a pre-tax breakeven in Q4 2027.

• Funding. Nebius spends far more than it earns: capital spending was about $7.3 billion in Q3 2026, and it expects $40 billion to $45 billion in 2027. It relies on prepayments, convertible notes, secured loans and share sales. A closed debt market or a fall in the share price would slow the build-out or force more dilution.
• Execution. Nebius must find power, sites, GPUs and staff for more than 1 GW of new capacity each year from 2027. Delivery at several third-party sites, including the rest of the New Jersey capacity for Microsoft, moved to the first half of 2027. More late supply or late construction would delay the revenue that its contracts promise.
• Customers and prices. Large contracts with a few customers, among them Microsoft and Meta, drive much of the growth. If AI spending slows or GPU prices fall, Nebius would have empty capacity and a heavy debt cost.
• Debt is rising. Debt on the balance sheet was $14,190.8 million at September 30, 2026, up from $8,545.7 million at June 30, 2026. Nebius then signed a $3.5 billion bridge loan that matures in October 2027.
• Dilution. Nebius sold Class A shares under its at-the-market program in 2026, with net proceeds of about $1.0 billion in Q3, and exchanged old convertible notes for about 15.8 million shares in August. Shares outstanding rose to 292,902,405 at September 30, 2026, and share-based pay was $196.5 million in the first nine months.

At September 30, 2026, Nebius had cash and cash equivalents of $7,425.6 million and restricted cash of $1,215.5 million. Debt on the balance sheet was $14,190.8 million, of which $187.5 million was current. Read more
