On August 4, NEBIUS rose 3.01% overnight, trading at $219.09/share with turnover of $42.06 million, extending its prior session gain of over 11%.
On the news front, the cloud computing sector maintained strong momentum as Microsoft's earnings revealed Azure cloud revenue grew 43% year-over-year, with annual revenue surpassing $100 billion for the first time, validating sustained AI infrastructure demand. NEBIUS benefited from sector-wide strength, with CoreWeave previously surging over 12% and major cloud peers including Meta, Oracle, and Amazon posting significant gains.
Additionally, NVIDIA holds a 9.3% stake in NEBIUS, and Baird initiated coverage with an Outperform rating. Analysts polled by FactSet have assigned a mean price target of $270.80, representing meaningful upside from current levels. However, options market activity showed a notable $2.367 million sell call on the $220 strike expiring August 7, signaling some institutional caution regarding near-term upside potential following the sharp rally.
