The story behind the numbers

1) The Microsoft catalyst

In September, Nebius unveiled a $17.4 billion, five‑year agreement to supply dedicated GPU infrastructure to Microsoft from a new Vineland, New Jersey data center—an arrangement that can scale to $19.4B depending on demand. The deal put Nebius on the AI infrastructure map alongside other hyperscaler partners and has been a key driver of the stock’s re‑rating. Reuters

2) Product momentum: “Token Factory”

Just days ago, Nebius launched Token Factory, an enterprise platform to deploy and manage open‑source and custom models for production‑grade inference with autoscaling and a 99.9% SLA. Early user anecdotes (Prosus, Higgsfield) emphasize throughput and cost efficiency—context investors will listen for as the company frames 2026 demand. Business Wire

3) Capacity, capex, and the path to scale

Zacks highlights that Nebius guided 2025 capex at ~$2B and recently raised ~$4.2B (convertible notes + equity) to fund data‑center buildouts—capital intensity that supports growth but heightens execution risk if pricing or utilization soften. Management previously pointed to a $900M–$1.1B ARR/run‑rate framework and has discussed securing >1 GW of power by end‑2026. Watch for updates on utilization, delivery timelines and any changes to capex pacing. Nasdaq


How the stock has performed—and what valuation says now

  • Performance: Over the last 52 weeks, shares are up ~468%; several preview notes describe a “nearly 500%” surge year‑over‑year. After a torrid run, the stock pulled back ~14% over the past month, a reminder that sentiment is volatile into catalysts. Benzinga
  • Valuation lens: Simply Wall St’s fair‑value model pegs NBIS at $156.4 (i.e., undervalued on that framework), but it also flags a P/E near 147× versus an industry average around 33×, underscoring that big growth is already priced in and leaving little room for execution missteps. Simply Wall St
  • Targets diverge: Depending on the source, 12‑month targets range from ~$91 on the conservative end to ~$156$161 among bullish tallies, reflecting the high‑variance debate around capacity ramps, contract visibility and margins. MarketBeat

Five things to watch on today’s call

  1. Microsoft contract ramp: Timing of Vineland capacity, 2026 delivery cadence, and any color on additional multi‑year hyperscaler deals. Reuters
  2. Gross margins & GPU utilization: How mix shifts from training to inference (and Token Factory uptake) affect unit economics. Business Wire
  3. Capex & liquidity runway: Updated 2025–2026 spend and the balance between convertibles, equity, and operating cash as scale builds. Nasdaq
  4. Run‑rate outlook: Whether management reaffirms or updates the $900M–$1.1B annualized revenue trajectory. Nasdaq
  5. Competitive landscape: Commentary on pricing and demand vs. hyperscaler clouds and specialized peers (e.g., CoreWeave). Nasdaq

Fresh headlines tied to today (Nov. 11)

  • Institutional flows: A MarketBeat 13F roundup published today notes Rathbones Group PLC bought 18,927 shares in Q2, joining other funds adding exposure to NBIS. (As always, 13F snapshots lag by a quarter; still, the disclosure underscores rising institutional interest.) MarketBeat
  • New coverage buzz: Traders circulated reports that CICC initiated Nebius at “Outperform” with a $143 target ahead of the print; The Fly (via TipRanks) also surfaced the initiation. Stocktwits

The bottom line

Nebius enters Q3 reporting day with sky‑high expectations built on a landmark Microsoft agreement and rapid product iteration (Token Factory). The print‑plus‑guide will likely determine whether a year‑long ~5x rally can extend—or cool—into year‑end. Focus on capacity ramps, margin trajectory, and contract visibility. If management shows progress on utilization and disciplined capex while sustaining growth, bulls will argue the multiple remains defendable. If not, richly valued AI infrastructure names can and do re‑price quickly. Reuters
