    Question

    Nebius Reaffirms Up to $25B CapEx and 5 GW Power Goal for 2026

    Direct answer

    Nebius Group confirmed its extensive infrastructure expansion plan, maintaining full-year 2026 capex guidance of $20 billion to $25 billion. The capital plan is designed to scale compute clusters and associated data center footprints. To alleviate balance sheet pressure, Nebius is deploying a financing model where commercial customer prepayments cover 50% to 60% of initial equipment and facility capex. Contracted power remains a critical operational milestone, with the company targeting 5 GW under contract by year-end.
