• Positive Sentiment: Management is targeting $7B–$9B in annualized run‑rate revenue by 2026 after surpassing $1.2B in 2025; the plan depends on rapid data‑center expansion and large AI cloud deals (including Microsoft rollouts), which supports the bullish long‑term growth story. Can Nebius reach $7-$9B ARR in 2026?
• Neutral Sentiment: Multiple analyst notes and price targets are circulating (median targets in the high‑$100s to $150+ range) and big institutional moves were reported (large additions by BlackRock/State Street but also sizable trims by others). This raises liquidity and attention but can amplify volatility in either direction. QuiverQuant coverage and institutional activity
• Negative Sentiment: Nebius missed Q4 revenue and EPS expectations and issued a conservative FY26 revenue guide; management’s very large FY26 capex plan ($16B–$20B) raises dilution and funding risk given limited cash on hand, which could cap near-term upside until execution is proven.
