Nebius Group (NASDAQ:NBIS) Shares Gap Up - Still a Buy?
The neocloud provider reported $399 million in first-quarter revenue, up 684% year over year, as investors weigh new AI deals and capacity guidance.
On Wednesday, Aug. 12, Nebius Group reports second-quarter earnings after a 173% stock rally over the past year, though gains have been accompanied by significant volatility.
Following a $2 billion investment from Nvidia, which cited Nebius's "unique depth of engineering expertise across the full AI technology stack," the company also secured a $27 billion deal with Meta Platforms.
Expanding infrastructure to meet demand, Nebius reached an agreement with Bloom Energy for 328 megawatts of electricity and increased its AI-compute capacity guidance to 4 gigawatts for 2026.
Analysts expect 28.3% revenue growth to $360.1 million for the quarter, with Nebius targeting full-year revenue between $3 billion and $3.4 billion and roughly 40% EBITDA margins.
Trading at nearly 63 times earnings, Nebius faces pressure from being down 35% from its peak, yet analysts suggest the company's triple-digit growth could justify the premium if sustained.
