Nebius Group reported third-quarter revenue above analyst estimates on Thursday, and CNBC said the company's shares fell 16 percent1.
CNBC, citing LSEG consensus, said revenue was $980.8 million compared with an estimate of $907.5 million1. Revenue jumped 571 percent in the quarter, according to a company statement cited by CNBC1.
The company reported a net loss of $37.5 million, or 13 cents a share, compared with $119.6 million, or 50 cents a share, a year earlier1. CNBC said it was not immediately clear whether the per-share loss was comparable to a 69-cent loss expected by analysts1.
In a letter to shareholders, CEO Arkady Volozh said the company expects fiscal 2026 revenue at the low end of a $3 billion to $3.4 billion range, CNBC reported; FactSet expected $3.35 billion1. Nebius expects fiscal 2026 capital expenditures of $27 billion, above prior guidance of $20 billion to $25 billion and a FactSet figure of $23.85 billion, according to CNBC1.
CNBC said Nebius also gave an initial 2027 revenue outlook of $12 billion to $13 billion, citing a conservative approach to the pace of its build-out, and fiscal 2027 capex of $40 billion to $45 billion versus a FactSet expectation of $28.77 billion1. Techmeme, summarizing the same report, described the stock drop as more than 16 percent and called the outlook weak2.
CNBC said the results followed better-than-expected reports from CoreWeave and IREN over the past week1. Nvidia held about $329 million in Nebius shares at the end of June, according to a filing cited by CNBC1.
