NEBIUS (NBIS) shares surged 16.22% during intraday trading on Monday, following the announcement of a major new artificial intelligence infrastructure agreement with Meta Platforms.
The Dutch cloud computing provider, backed by Nvidia, signed a five-year deal with Meta that has a total contract value of up to $27 billion. Under the agreement, Nebius will provide $12 billion of dedicated AI capacity across multiple locations starting in early 2027, utilizing Nvidia's next-generation Vera Rubin platform. Meta has also committed to purchase up to $15 billion in additional available compute capacity from Nebius's upcoming clusters over the five-year period.
This represents a significant expansion of the partnership between the two companies and is seen as a major validation of Nebius's position in the competitive AI infrastructure market, often referred to as the "neocloud" sector. The deal is expected to accelerate the build-out and growth of Nebius's core AI cloud business.
