    Direct answer

    Nebius Group reaffirmed its ambitious 2026 capital expenditure target of $20 billion to $25 billion as it builds out dedicated AI infrastructure capacity. The company aims to secure 5 GW of contracted power by year-end to support high-density compute installations. To alleviate capital intensity concerns, Nebius disclosed that customer prepayments are currently covering 50% to 60% of its capex needs. The remaining funding is supported through operational cash flows and asset-backed financing facilities.
