Nebius Group reported second-quarter financial results that exceeded analyst forecasts, highlighted by a 454% revenue surge to $582 million. The company also reported a 68% year-over-year narrowing of its loss per share to $0.12 and an annualized run rate of $3 billion. Following the report, the company’s stock experienced significant volatility, including a single-session gain of over 34% followed by a 4.06% overnight decline to $248.68, which analysts attributed to investor profit-taking. Despite this fluctuation, Citigroup raised its price objective for the stock from $278 to $324 while maintaining a ‘buy’ rating. The company’s performance, alongside results from CoreWeave, has contributed to renewed interest in the artificial intelligence infrastructure sector, helping to alleviate concerns regarding AI technology return on investment.

To support its expansion, the company has significantly increased its capital raising efforts. Nebius Group successfully closed a debt offering, raising $5.75 billion through two series of convertible senior notes, exceeding its initial $4.5 billion target and subsequent $5 billion revision. The Amsterdam-based neocloud operator intends to use these proceeds to expand data center capacity, invest in its full-stack AI cloud platform, and acquire GPUs. The company is targeting between 800 megawatts and 1 gigawatt of connected power by the end of 2026, with planned campuses in Missouri, Pennsylvania, Finland, and the United Kingdom. This expansion follows a five-year, $12 billion AI infrastructure deal signed with Meta Platforms. However, despite the successful capital raise, shares recently experienced a six-session decline, losing 24% of their value as investors reacted to the increasing debt load.
