Second-quarter revenue reached $582.3 million with strong year-over-year growth supported by four AI cloud contracts each over $1 billion, and new stakes from Soros Fund Management and Accel Leaders 3 Associates L.P.
Shares of Nebius Group are trading below key short- and medium-term averages with immediate resistance at $212.04, and the next five days see a range of $180.45 to $243.21 with a 53% probability of a downward move.

Investor inflows and AI contract growth outweighed by persistent selling

Nebius Group completed a $5 billion upsized convertible senior notes offering, which raised market concerns about equity dilution as the company also executed an $800 million debt-for-equity exchange. The company reported second-quarter revenue of $582.3 million, reflecting significant year-over-year growth driven by four major AI cloud contracts, each valued over $1 billion. Institutional investors, including Soros Fund Management and Accel Leaders 3 Associates L.P., disclosed new stakes in Nebius, and the company increased its contracted power target for 2026 to 5 gigawatts, expanding its AI infrastructure operations, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees persistent risk in Nebius Group’s technical structure. He notes the firm’s shares continue to face downside pressure after the $5 billion convertible notes issue and recent debt-for-equity swap. Kharitonov highlights that the price remains trapped below key moving averages, signaling weak momentum. He also points to mixed oscillator signals and significant volatility, which undermine any conviction for a quick rebound. "Despite institutional interest, the risk of further dilution and seller activity means any bullish signals are likely to be short-lived unless the stock reclaims $212.04 with strong volume," he says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, remains constructive on Nebius Group’s prospects. He emphasizes strong institutional inflows and fast-growing fundamentals, citing four major AI cloud contracts and the upgraded power target as key drivers. Karapetjanc believes the bullish long-term structure remains intact above the 200-day level, despite recent headline volatility. He expects Nebius’s expanding infrastructure and institutional backing to attract renewed interest. "Major growth in AI contracts and investor support position Nebius for further upside once short-term nerves subside," Karapetjanc states.

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, sees mounting caution around Nebius Group. He notes equity dilution fears continue to weigh on sentiment, despite impressive revenue. Dele points out that broader market selling and post-issue weakness signal investors remain unconvinced by the recent moves. "The short-term tone is defensive — I see little incentive for aggressive buying until Nebius proves dilution risk is under control," Dele says.

Short-term bearish pressure holds despite bullish momentum signals

Nebius Group is trading below both its 20-day ($213.47) and 50-day ($223.1) moving averages, while holding above the 200-day ($149.25), indicating short- and medium-term pressure from sellers but maintaining a longer-term bullish structure. The current price is near immediate resistance at $212.04 and above the nearest support at $202.25, with the Ichimoku Kijun ($213.32) also acting as resistance. Momentum signals are mixed: the MACD shows a bullish bias, the ADX indicates a neutral trend, and the RSI suggests selling pressure with a value of 49.66. Bull/Bear Power at 3.07 points to buyers dominating intraday momentum, but its overbought reading warns of potential exhaustion. Both Stochastic RSI and CCI are neutral at 24.27 and 21.27 respectively, and recent intraday volatility reached 5.19%. Trading near the day's high after a gap down signals ongoing selling pressure after the open, with oscillators presenting conflicting short-term signals.

Earlier, analysts noted that Nebius Group’s robust revenue growth and strong technical setup reinforced a constructive long-term outlook despite some near-term caution signals. The latest developments—marked by equity dilution concerns and a shift in technical posture—now add downside risk, making the $202.25 support a key level to watch for any potential further weakness.
