Nebius fully delivered both capacity tranches of its Meta contract on time, with Meta now in full servicing stage, reflecting Meta's ongoing reliance on external AI compute.
“our software vendor customers like Shopify”

Generative-media startup Black Forest Labs is a Nebius customer building image/video models, reflecting rising inference demand from generative-AI vendors.
“some very disruptive startups like Cursor AI, Black Forest Labs, and World Labs.”
AI code-editor startup Cursor became a Nebius customer, a compute-demand read-through for the fast-growing coding-AI company.
“This deal comes on top of the Microsoft deal we announced early September, with a contract value between $17.4 billion and $19.4 billion.”
Microsoft signed a $17.4B-$19.4B multi-year capacity contract with Nebius, reflecting Microsoft's sourcing of significant external AI compute.
“we signed another major deal, this time with Meta, for approximately $3 billion over the next five years.”
Meta signed an approximately $3B, five-year capacity deal with Nebius, an early sign of Meta's growing use of external AI compute.
“With the new generation of NVIDIA Blackwells coming online, more customers are interested in purchasing capacity in advance and securing it for a longer period of time.”
NVIDIA's new Blackwell GPUs are pulling customers to pre-commit AI-cloud capacity, and Nebius is among the first to deploy them, a demand read-through for NVIDIA's newest chips.
“they are looking forward to launch their robotaxi service with Uber later this year”
Nebius's Avride unit plans to launch a robotaxi service with Uber later in the year, indicating Uber is expanding its autonomous-vehicle partner network.
Nebius closed 2025 with Q4 group revenue of $228 million, up 500.79% year over year per GAAP financials (management cited 547%), and group adjusted EBITDA inflecting positive as core AI cloud adjusted EBITDA margin expanded from 19% to 24%. Core-business ARR reached $1.2 billion at December, exceeding the high end of the Q3 guidance range, and management introduced first-time 2026 guidance of $3.0-3.4 billion in revenue and a roughly 40% group adjusted EBITDA margin while reiterating the $7-9 billion 2026 ARR target and raising contracted power to more than 3 gigawatts. The print was not flawless: an analyst flagged that Q4 revenue came in light versus Street consensus even as ARR beat, and Nebius extended its depreciation schedule from four to five years, an accounting change that lifts future reported margins. With 2026 CAPEX guided at $16-20 billion, only about 60% funded, and GAAP EBIT set to remain a loss, the financing and dilution overhang remains the central risk against an otherwise strong growth and pricing backdrop.
