Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) exceeded its revenue expectations for 2025, causing shares to rise by 8.2% at noon ET. The company had projected a revenue run rate of up to $1.1 billion by the end of 2025, but actually achieved a rate of $1.25 billion. Looking ahead to 2026, Nebius anticipates increasing this rate sevenfold.
One strategy Nebius plans to employ to achieve this growth is by expanding its data center capacity beyond previous projections. The demand for its AI compute capacity is so strong that the company aims to have over 3 gigawatts of contracted compute capacity by the end of 2026.
Although Nebius stock has already experienced significant growth, with shares tripling in value last year and the company boasting a market cap of around $25 billion, investors should monitor demand for cloud infrastructure throughout the year. This will likely determine whether Nebius shares have further room to grow.
