Overview
- Nebius launched a $4.0 billion private offering of convertible senior notes, upsized from $3.75 billion, split between $2.25 billion of 1.25% notes due 2031 and $1.75 billion of 2.625% notes due 2033, with settlement expected on March 20, 2026.
- The company granted the initial purchaser an option to buy up to an additional $600 million of notes and estimates net proceeds of about $3.96 billion, or roughly $4.55 billion if the option is fully exercised.
- Proceeds are earmarked for data center construction and build-outs, expansion of Nebius’s full-stack AI cloud footprint, GPU procurement, and general corporate purposes.
- The financing follows Nebius’s five-year, $27 billion contract with Meta to deploy next‑generation Nvidia Vera Rubin chips, a deal that previously drove a sharp rally in the shares.
- Analysts remained positive after the Meta announcement, with D.A. Davidson and BWS lifting price targets to $200 and Citi initiating at $169, while shares recently traded near $117.66 after an early-session dip.
