Nebius Rebounds to End Week Higher After AI Cloud Selloff

Markets are priced for Nebius to reach a $7 billion to $9 billion revenue run rate by 2026, making any shortfall costly.

Overview

  • The stock fell nearly 15% earlier in the week before recovering to finish about 2% above the prior Friday’s close, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
  • The early slide followed investor anxiety over rising debt loads used to fund AI infrastructure buildouts across the sector.
  • A Citigroup upgrade on peer CoreWeave with an estimated near‑doubling of upside helped drive a sectorwide rebound late in the week.
  • Nebius continues to guide for annual revenue run rate to rise from roughly $1 billion to $7 billion to $9 billion by the end of 2026, and current valuation reflects that outlook.
  • The company reports negative net debt despite adding borrowings this year, yet its growth depends on customers sustaining large multiyear commitments that could be delayed or reduced.
