Nebius Group NV (NASDAQ:NBIS) shares are climbing Wednesday in what appears to be a technical bounce as the stock builds on last week’s news of a strategic partnership with Palantir.
Nebius has climbed back above its 50-day and 100-day averages and is now testing its 20-day mark around $221. A break above that level would open the door toward $230, while a rejection there would likely send shares back to retest support.
The broader trend still favors bulls, with the 20-day above the 50-day and both above the 200-day, while RSI at 49.27 suggests the stock is not overheated. Buyers have defended the low-$200s recently, and sector strength is helping too, with Technology leading all groups today and Nebius outperforming.
Adding to the bullish setup is last week’s news that Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:PLTR) named Nebius its preferred provider for sovereign AI infrastructure, eventually letting qualifying Palantir customers run and fine-tune open-source models on Nebius hardware while keeping control of their own data.
Palantir CEO Alex Karp said the arrangement gives customers a way to run their own AI systems on their own terms, while Nebius CEO Arkady Volozh said it lets clients work with fine-tuned open models on infrastructure they can trust.
Wall Street forecasts roughly $910 million in revenue when Nebius reports earnings for the current quarter, up from just $146 million a year prior, a sixfold jump that comes with a wider expected loss of $1.28 per share versus 40 cents previously. That mix of growth and cash burn has left analysts split: Truist’s bullish $355 target sits nearly $100 above DA Davidson’s $250 target, and the overall consensus of $261.75 still sits above current levels.
Much of the bullish case might be traced back to a multiyear, $17 billion revenue agreement Microsoft signed with Nebius in September 2025, evidence that the company’s growth rests on already-locked-in business rather than speculation alone.
NBIS Price Action: Nebius shares were up 5.35% at $218.47 at the time of publication on Wednesday, according to Benzinga Pro.
