Nebius beats quarterly revenue estimates on strong AI demand

Nebius reported third-quarter revenue of $981 million, above analysts’ average estimate of $907.5 million, citing strong demand for its AI cloud infrastructure. It forecast $12 billion to $13 billion in 2027 sales, while its 2026 forecast was slightly below market estimates, and said customer prepayments covered more than 100% of related capital spending.

What happened

Nebius reported third-quarter revenue of $981 million, above the average analyst estimate of $907.5 million. It lowered its full-year revenue outlook to the low end of its earlier range because third-party capacity is delayed until the first half of 2027. The related contracts remain in place.

Global impact / market context

Strong quarterly revenue points to demand for Nebius’s AI cloud services, but delayed capacity has led it to lower its full-year outlook. Its 2027 revenue target and plan to break even before tax by the end of 2027 depend on future growth and investment. Reports differ on how much of planned spending customer prepayments will cover.

What to watch

  1. Check whether the delayed third-party capacity arrives in the first half of 2027, because the company cited the delay when lowering its outlook.
  2. Check whether the related contracts remain in place, because they support the company’s plans despite the capacity delay.
  3. Check what share of projected 2027 spending is covered by customer prepayments and contract-backed financing, because reports give different figures.
