    Nebius Group Reports Q2 Earnings; $27B Meta Deal in Focus

    Question

    Nebius Group Reports Q2 Earnings; $27B Meta Deal in Focus

    Direct answer

    Nebius Group's Q2 results will be a litmus test for the 'GPU-as-a-service' sector. With Q1 revenue up nearly 700%, the company is scaling at a pace that rivals the early days of AWS. The $27B deal with Meta is particularly significant, as it shows even major hyperscalers are looking for external GPU capacity to meet peak demand. The $2B investment from Nvidia further cements Nebius's position as a preferred partner, likely ensuring priority access to Blackwell chips. — bullish pressure on NBIS.
