Business

Is the company getting stronger, not just bigger? · 2 findings
−16 of −30
  • Margin
    The operating margin is −37% TTM (−30% in Q2 with an operating loss of $176m), better than −115% in 2025, but the absolute operating loss is expected to grow to about $960m in 2026. The H1 profit is solely a $781m gain on equity holdings; the adjusted EBITDA margin is about 40%. The loss is counted only here.
    −10
  • Capital allocation
    Capex of $20–25bn in 2026 ($5.7bn in Q2 alone) vs expected revenue of $3.0–3.4bn. Funded with convertible notes, sales of its own shares and pre-funded warrants, and the target for contracted power has been raised to 5 GW, i.e. even more capital.
    −6

Price

Today's multiples against the company's own history and its peers. · 1 finding
−31 of −35
  • Multiples vs own history and peers
    P/S 47 TTM, about 19 on 2026 revenue and about 5 on 2027 consensus ($12.3bn); EV/EBITDA 255; P/B 6.2 vs 1.5–4.6 in 2021–25. Consensus expects negative EPS in both 2026 (−$2.24) and 2027 (−$3.49). Its own history (the Yandex era) is not comparable; the price rests entirely on 2027 growth being delivered.
    −31

Cracks

Cash flow, customers, debt, insiders, guidance and what sits behind the headline numbers. · 5 findings
−25 of −35
  • Cash flow
    FCF −$5.9bn TTM, and consensus expects −$18.3bn in 2026. Operating cash flow of $5.3bn effectively consists of $5.96bn of customer prepayments (deferred revenue); without them it is negative.
    −8
  • Customer concentration
    Three customers accounted for 24%, 21% and 14% of Q2 revenue (59% in total), and one customer makes up 29% of receivables.
    −8
  • Dilution
    The share count has risen 22% in a year. In H1 $4.3bn of convertible notes were issued, $2.8bn of its own shares sold and $2.0bn of pre-funded warrants issued, and in August a further $5.75bn of convertible debt followed.
    −6
  • Debt
    Net debt $2.2bn (debt $10.2bn vs cash $8.0bn) before the new August convertibles; negative interest cover (EBIT/interest −2.1).
    −2
  • Insider trading
    Chairman John Boynton sold 6,364 shares for about $1.3m on 15/9, after the stock had risen 128% in a year; no insider buying found.
    −1

Plus

Only documented strengths. · 2 findings
+5 of +15
  • Order book and prepayments
    ARR was $3bn at the end of June (+598%), and guidance is $7–9bn by year-end. In Q2 four deals averaging over $1bn were closed, where prepayments cover 50–60% of capex; on top come the large contracts with Microsoft and Meta.
    +3
  • Pricing power
    Raising on-demand prices for GPU, CPU and memory by 17–21% from 1/10 because of tight demand.
    +2

Caveats

What the score does not capture, or where the data is weak.
Nebius burns cash: FCF is expected at −$18bn in 2026, and the positive operating cash flow is customer prepayments. Three customers accounted for 59% of Q2 revenue. The share count has risen 22%, and billions of convertible loans have been issued. The TTM profit is due to a $781m investment gain, and negative EPS is expected in both 2026 and 2027. Short interest is 20% of free float.
