Nebius Secures Five-Year Meta Deal Worth Up to $27 Billion for AI Capacity

The capacity pact locks in demand, reducing risk around Nebius’s AI data‑center buildout.

Overview

  • Meta will receive $12 billion of dedicated Nebius compute starting in early 2027 across multiple sites.
  • Meta can purchase up to an additional $15 billion in capacity over the contract term.
  • Nebius may resell excess capacity to third parties, with Meta backstopping any unsold allotments.
  • Large AI clusters will use Nvidia’s Vera Rubin hardware, to which Meta receives exclusive access under the deal.
  • Nebius shares rose roughly 14%–15% on the announcement, which follows a prior ~$17 billion Microsoft agreement and comes as the company targets 5 GW of data‑center power by 2030.
