NEW YORK, Jan 13, 2026, 13:37 ET — Regular session
- Nebius Group N.V. shares dropped 1.4% in midday Nasdaq trading, following a strong rally the previous day
- No new company announcements emerged, leaving macro trends and sector movements to steer the market.
- Attention shifts to the upcoming earnings season in mid-February and any news on capacity expansions
Nebius Group N.V. shares slipped 1.4% on Tuesday, shedding some of Monday’s gains amid a broader pullback in high-growth AI infrastructure stocks. The stock traded last at $105.85, fluctuating between $104.35 and $108.36 throughout the session.
The pullback is significant because Nebius now serves as a momentum gauge for demand in graphics processing units (GPUs) — the chips powering AI model training and operation — and signals investor appetite for infrastructure investments. Sharp moves can quickly flip when interest rates, funding expenses, or earnings reports change.
U.S. stocks slipped off recent peaks following inflation data that revealed consumer prices rose 2.7% year-on-year in December. Early earnings reports were mixed, fueling a more cautious mood. 1
Nebius surged roughly 9.6% Monday, closing at $107.33, up from Friday’s $97.93, supported by rising volume. The sharp gain, however, left the stock exposed to profit-taking as investor sentiment shifted. 2
Nebius didn’t issue any new press releases on Tuesday. The latest update on its newsroom came on Jan. 5, announcing plans to sell NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin NVL72 systems in the U.S. and Europe starting in the second half of 2026. 3
The stock’s broader context is a choppy “AI infrastructure” play, with investors shifting back and forth between data-center builders and chip-related firms as growth prospects and funding outlooks fluctuate. 4
Nebius, headquartered in Amsterdam, highlighted major multi-year AI infrastructure deals with hyperscalers as it expands capacity. However, the company also reported significant losses amid a spike in capital expenditures tied to its build-out. 5
But the downside is clear: delays in buildouts, persistent high power and equipment costs, or tighter capital markets could force the company to seek additional funding on tougher terms. Previous fundraising efforts have already highlighted how swiftly the balance-sheet issue can resurface. 6
Investors are eyeing the next earnings report, scheduled for Feb. 18 according to Nasdaq. Nebius, however, hasn’t posted any upcoming investor events on its website. 7
Traders say the immediate focus is clear: upcoming macro data and earnings reports will determine if Tuesday’s drop is just a breather or the beginning of a deeper slide. Investors will be watching Nebius closely, as its next update on capacity and customer growth stands as the crucial catalyst for the stock.
