Nebius (NBIS) Pops Today: What's Going On With This AI Stock?

Nebius Group NV (NASDAQ:NBIS) shares are trading higher on Tuesday afternoon, rebounding after last week's sharp sell-off that followed a mixed third-quarter report and dilution worries. Here’s what investors need to know.

What To Know: The AI infrastructure provider previously dropped nearly 9% after posting third-quarter revenue of $146.1 million, missing Wall Street estimates near $153.7 million, and issuing a full-year revenue outlook of $500 million to $550 million, below the roughly $578 million analysts had projected.

Sentiment was further pressured by an equity distribution agreement allowing the sale of up to 25 million Class A shares.

Tuesday’s bounce comes as investors reassess the long-term growth story. Despite the guidance reset, Nebius delivered roughly 237% year-over-year revenue growth and continues to ramp capacity aggressively.

The company recently announced a $3 billion, five-year infrastructure deal with Meta Platforms and plans to expand compute capacity to 2.5GW by 2026, positioning Nebius as a key supplier in the AI data-center build-out.

Analysts at Northland Capital Markets have a $211 price target, while D.A. Davidson reiterates a $150 target and calls Nebius a "top AI pick," arguing that recent weakness could represent a buying opportunity. The Tuesday advance comes even as broader tech benchmarks trade mostly lower.

Benzinga Edge Rankings: Nebius holds a strong 98.57 Momentum score, with medium- and long-term uptrends, though short-term sentiment remains weak.

NBIS Price Action: Nebius Group shares were up 6.58% at $91.64 at the time of publication on Tuesday, according to Benzinga Pro data.

Otherwise, if your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading — either way, it allows you to profit from the share price decline
