Nebius posts 571% revenue jump but guides 2026 revenue low and raises capex, shares tumble

Nebius Group reported Q3 2026 revenue of $980.8 million, up 571% year‑over‑year, and a GAAP loss of $0.13 per share. The company guided 2026 revenue to the low end of its $3.0‑$3.4 billion range and lifted its 2026 capital‑expenditure outlook to $27 billion, while forecasting 2027 revenue of $12‑$13 billion and capex of $40‑$45 billion. The softer outlook and larger spending plan sent the stock down 10‑15% in pre‑market trading.

The guidance indicates lower near‑term revenue growth and substantially higher cash needs, which may pressure Nebius' balance sheet and affect investors' valuation assumptions (the company’s own guidance).
