Nebius Group closed 2025 with exponential revenue growth and its first adjusted EBITDA positive at the group level — a clear signal that scale is starting to translate into operating leverage.
The company’s strategy is bold: build one of the largest dedicated AI cloud platforms in the world. Nebius is aggressively expanding global data center capacity, targeting over 3 gigawatts of contracted power by the end of 2026, with a roadmap aimed at reaching $7 to $9 billion in annualized recurring revenue.
Unlike traditional cloud providers, Nebius is positioning itself as a pure-play AI infrastructure platform. It is deploying next-generation NVIDIA systems, building proprietary data centers, and enhancing its software layer through acquisitions like Tavily, strengthening its agentic AI and inference capabilities.
Massive capital expenditure — projected between $16 and $20 billion — underpins this expansion. Management believes demand for AI compute continues to exceed supply, allowing Nebius to operate near full capacity with long-term contracts and improving pricing stability.
The takeaway is clear: Nebius is making a high-conviction bet on AI infrastructure scarcity. Execution, capital discipline, and sustained demand will determine whether this aggressive scale-up converts into durable profitability.
