    Nebius reaffirms $20-25B capex guidance targeting 5 GW contracted power by year-end

    Question

    Nebius reaffirms $20-25B capex guidance targeting 5 GW contracted power by year-end

    Direct answer

    Nebius Group reaffirmed its aggressive 2026 capital expenditure target of $20 billion to $25 billion to build out dedicated AI compute clusters. The company plans to reach 5 GW of secured power interconnects by year-end. Funding for the heavy buildout relies on structural customer prepayments covering 50% to 60% of outlays, alongside asset-backed equipment credit facilities, reducing reliance on direct equity dilution.
