Judgment: HOLD Nebius has clear strategic momentum—rapid revenue scaling in 2025, positive adjusted EBITDA at the Nebius segment since Q2 2025, multi‑billion capacity agreements (Microsoft/Meta), and $4.8B in cash to fund GPU and data‑center expansion. However, valuation is rich (P/E ~105; DCF snapshot well below price), losses persist (Q3 net loss, negative interest coverage), leverage metrics are elevated (Net Debt/EBITDA 6.6x), and execution hinges on timely GPU/power availability and contract ramps. The setup is promising but execution‑ and valuation‑sensitive. WATCH ITEMS: • Hyperscaler capacity execution (milestone deliveries and utilization for Microsoft/Meta). On‑time ramps with high utilization and revenue conversion would support upgrading to BUY; delays, cancellations, or underutilization would tilt to SELL. • Unit economics and cash burn (Nebius adjusted EBITDA margin trajectory, FCF inflection, interest coverage). Sustained margin expansion and FCF breakeven would justify BUY; worsening cash burn and coverage would drive SELL. • Supply/power readiness (NVIDIA Blackwell/HBM deliveries, site power procurement and readiness at Finland/NJ/colo sites). Secured supply and on‑schedule deployments would support BUY; material shortages or power constraints would keep HOLD or move to SELL.

Business Model

Nebius builds full‑stack AI infrastructure combining data centers, custom‑designed hardware, and an intelligent software layer, alongside an AI cloud platform and tools; the group also operates Avride (autonomous driving) and TripleTen (edtech), and holds equity stakes in Toloka and ClickHouse.

🧾 Bottom Line

The company has transformed into an AI‑infrastructure‑led platform post‑divestment, with rapid revenue scaling in 2025 driven by Nebius and supported by substantial liquidity and announced hyperscaler agreements, positioning the platform for near‑term capacity monetization and operating leverage, subject to supply chain and regulatory execution risks.
