Nebius stock jumps 11% as tight GPU supply lifts the whole neocloud trade
Nebius stock rose 11.22% to $170.47 on October 28, driven by Nvidia's report of increased GPU rental prices. Nebius, which rents Nvidia chips, raised its own GPU pricing by up to 21% in October. The company's stock has been volatile, falling 25% in mid-October before rebounding. Nebius's next earnings report, expected around November 10-11, will be a key test of its pricing power.
