Nvidia Invests $2 Billion in Nebius as AI Cloud Builder Ramps Multi‑Gigawatt Expansion

The funding grants Nebius early access to Nvidia’s next‑generation platforms, reinforcing plans to scale AI capacity beyond 5 gigawatts by 2030.

Overview

  • Nvidia’s stake comes with strategic access to Rubin GPUs, Vera CPUs and BlueField systems, with the partnership aimed at enabling more than 5 GW of AI capacity by 2030.
  • NBIS shares spiked up to 16.1% intraday on March 11 after the announcement, and the stock is up roughly 282% over the past year.
  • Nebius reported 2025 revenue of $529.8 million, up 479% year over year, including $227.7 million in Q4.
  • Guidance calls for 2026 revenue of $3.0–$3.4 billion and end‑2026 ARR of $7–$9 billion, with commentary pointing to roughly 40% adjusted EBITDA margins.
  • Customer demand includes multibillion‑dollar deals with Microsoft and Meta, capacity sold out through Q1 2026, more than 2 GW of contracted power with plans to top 3 GW this year, and a 2026 capex plan of $16–$20 billion that analysts flag as a key execution risk tied to GPUs, power and financing.
