Nebius Slides 8.4% on $4.5B Convertible Notes Offering
NBIS has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $62.01.
Summary
Nebius announced a private offering of convertible senior notes, initially $4.5B split into $2.75B due 2030 and $1.75B due 2034, with an option for an additional $675M, and later upsized to $5.0B, pricing $3.0B of 0.50% notes due 2030 at a 40% conversion premium and $2.0B of 4.50% notes due 2034 at a 45% premium. It is also exchanging $800M of existing notes for about 15.8M Class A shares, with net proceeds of roughly $4.94B. The stock fell 8.4% to $227.58 on the news, reflecting dilution concerns despite the company's strong AI cloud growth. Proceeds will fund data centers, full-stack AI cloud development, and GPU procurement. This follows the 6-K filed earlier today and comes after a $775M secured debt facility in July and a $1B+ compute deal with Reflection. The offering is large relative to the company's $61.8B market cap and signals aggressive capital deployment, but the convertible structure may pressure shares near-term.
