Analysis · NBIS · Technology
A breakout quarter saw revenue more than quintuple year-over-year, handily beating consensus. The AI cloud business is scaling at a blistering pace — annualized run-rate revenue reached $3 billion, adjusted EBITDA swung to a $236 million profit, and four landmark deals were closed, each carrying a total contract value north of $1 billion. Confidence in future capacity is underscored by a raised year-end contracted power target of 5 GW. To fund the massive capex required by this demand, the company tapped its ATM program for $2.8 billion in gross proceeds, a move that dilutes shareholders but secures the capital needed to capture a generational AI infrastructure opportunity. Reaffirmed full-year guidance and $9 billion in expected customer prepayments provide visibility, though heavy capital spending and share issuance remain the price of admission.
