Nebius says run-rate revenue hit $3.0 billion and contracted power is heading to 5 GW

Nebius said on 12 August its annualized run-rate revenue reached $3.0 billion and it now expects 5 GW of contracted power by year-end.

In its second-quarter shareholder letter on 12 August 2026, Nebius said group revenue rose 454% to $582.3 million and annualized run-rate revenue reached $3.0 billion, up 598%. It closed four AI cloud deals averaging more than $1 billion each and raised its year-end contracted power target to 5 GW. Capital spending was about $5.7 billion. The GAAP operating loss widened to $175.9 million from $111.2 million, and net loss from continuing operations was $190.4 million against net income of $502.5 million a year earlier, which included a $597.4 million equity revaluation gain. Adjusted net loss narrowed to $33.2 million from $91.5 million. We file this because Nebius ties its results to AI demand in its own words. How we read it: customers are committing large sums for AI capacity, and the build is costly. What would change this: delays turning contracted power into capacity. Why it matters to you: it shows what AI computing customers contract for and what it costs to supply.

What this doesn't prove

Company results documents. All figures are Nebius's own. Run-rate revenue is the last month's AI cloud revenue times 12. The 5 GW is contracted power, not capacity in service. No counterparty values are given beyond the deal averages. The loss and year-ago figures in the body are from the results release. Operating cash flow was +$2,246.1 million helped by customer prepayments, and cash was about $8 billion.

Next fixture

  • Run-rate revenue next quarter
  • Contracted power converting to capacity in service
  • Share of build cost covered by customer prepayments
