NBIS Is In High Demand
Nvidia-backed Nebius has been high on investors’ radars amid a series of expansion news, contract wins and a surging stock price.
Last week, the company announced plans to set up three data centers in the UK, with a total outlay of 1.7 billion pounds ($2.3 billion). Before that, it announced plans for a 310-megawatt data center in Finland, which would be one of the continent's largest with an estimated value of more than $10 billion, and a 240-megawatt data center in France.
After securing a major contract from Microsoft last year, Nebius announced in March 2026 a $24 billion deal with Meta Platforms. Last month, Situational Awareness, an AI hedge fund led by former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner, disclosed a 5.6% stake in the neocloud company.
