Nebius Group (NBIS +4.54%) is getting a couple of billion dollars from Nvidia (NVDA 1.56%). Two billion. It’s a large number. Enough to build data centers. Data centers, of course, are where the future goes to be stored. Or, more accurately, where the algorithms that think they’re the future are stored. So it goes.
Nebius, you see, isn’t making toasters. They’re building the real estate for the thinking machines. They rent out space to people who want to make computers dream. It’s a good business, if you can get it. Nebius has been growing, exponentially, they say. A word we throw around a lot these days, like “disruptive.”
This Nvidia money will help them build more of these digital warehouses. They’re aiming for 800 megawatts to a gigawatt of capacity by the end of 2026. Megawatts. Gigawatts. Just numbers, really. But numbers that represent a lot of humming machinery and a lot of electricity bills.
Nvidia’s Helping Hand
Demand for computing power is, apparently, exceeding supply. Goldman Sachs says so. And Goldman Sachs knows a thing or two about numbers, even if they don’t always add up to a better world. Nebius is trying to fill the gap. A noble effort, in a way. Like trying to bail out the ocean with a teaspoon.
They added 170 megawatts last year. They want 3 gigawatts of secured power by 2026. A lot of power. Enough to run a small city, or a very large collection of servers. Nvidia promises early access to new chips, which will, they say, lower costs. Lower costs. A beautiful phrase. Though someone, somewhere, will always find a way to spend the savings.
A Shot in the Arm?
Analysts predict Nebius’ revenue will jump 531% in 2026. That’s a big jump. A statistically improbable jump, perhaps. But then again, we live in statistically improbable times. This Nvidia money might help them exceed expectations. It’ll let them build faster, convert orders into actual revenue, and generally keep the wheels turning.
They already have over $20 billion in orders. Two leading hyperscalers, they say. Hyperscalers. Another new word. It sounds vaguely menacing. But it just means companies that buy a lot of servers. And they’ll need all this power. The capacity constraints suggest anything Nebius brings online will be snapped up quickly. So, the stock might keep going up. It often does. For a while, anyway.
It’s a good story. A simple story, really. Money in, buildings up, servers humming, algorithms dreaming. So it goes. But remember, even the most impressive data centers are just boxes filled with electricity. And electricity, ultimately, comes from somewhere. And that somewhere is often a little bit sad.
