Nebius Stock Jumps as $775M Loan and Nvidia's Locked Stake Replace Dilution Fears
Published on 07/21/2026 at 17:33 | Redaktion boerse-global.de
Nebius shares surged €180.98 on Wednesday, a 13.10% gain that reversed a brutal 30-day slide. The catalyst was not a single piece of news but a two-pronged reassessment of how the Dutch AI cloud provider will fund its growth. Over the past month, investors had knocked 27.14% off the stock, worried that every new data-center dollar would come from fresh equity. Back-to-back announcements — first a regulatory filing revealing Nvidia’s 9.3% passive stake, then a $775 million secured credit facility — have now put those concerns on ice.
The Nvidia disclosure came as a Schedule 13G filing with the SEC on July 13, confirming the chip giant holds 22.26 million Class A shares. Of those, 1.19 million were already reported in the first quarter; the remaining 21 million result from a pre-funded warrant dated March 11, 2026. The warrant comes with a hard lock?up: Nvidia cannot exercise it until September 11, 2026, nor sell the underlying shares before that date. By filing a 13G, Nvidia also signaled it has no intention of seeking control — a passive posture that still provides a powerful endorsement. The total investment amounts to $2 billion, and the two companies plan to collaborate on AI infrastructure, fleet management, and inference technology.
Five days later, Nebius secured the $775 million credit line — a secured loan priced at SOFR plus 2.50%, backed by existing GPU clusters and contracted revenue streams. The financing marks a deliberate shift in capital strategy. Instead of issuing new shares that would dilute existing holders, Nebius is now borrowing against its own hardware, behaving more like an infrastructure operator than a startup burning through equity. “The loan takes the edge off dilution fears,” as one analyst put it. The move also complements Nebius’s broader “asset?light” model: even as it invests £1.7 billion in Nvidia’s Blackwell infrastructure in the UK, the company spreads the balance?sheet burden through debt and partnerships.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Nebius?
The stock’s reaction reflects relief that Nebius can now fund its global expansion without tapping shareholder pockets. Yet the path back to the 52?week high of €261.00, reached on June 22, remains steep — shares still trade 30.66% below that peak. The recovery from the month?long sell?off has been violent, and volatility remains extreme. The annualized 30?day volatility stands at 110.88%, and the relative strength index sits at 44.3 — neutral, but with ample room for further swings. The current price is 43.63% above the 200?day moving average, underscoring just how far the stock has traveled in the past twelve months.
Behind the price action lies a growth story that few infrastructure peers can match. Nebius already signed a long?term contract with Meta for up to $27 billion in AI capacity, and its pivot to “sovereign AI” — localized computing power for European enterprises and governments wary of US hyperscalers — has attracted marquee clients. Year to date, the stock is up 146.23%.
Still, the picture is not without blemishes. Insider sales over the past three months reached $141.8 million, a potential signal of profit?taking within management. And the valuation stretches credibility: the trailing price?to?earnings ratio is roughly 60, compared with a five?year median of 27.81, while the forward multiple exceeds 200 — levels that assume the current growth trajectory extends for years. The Nvidia stake and the credit line have provided a fundamental floor that was missing during the correction, but the stock remains a vehicle for the stout?hearted. Nebius has traded its startup cap for an infrastructure hat; the volatility, however, is not going anywhere.
