Guidance revision and capex hike dampen sentiment despite earnings beat

Nebius Group N.V. reported third-quarter 2026 revenue of about $980.8 million, reflecting a 571% year-over-year increase driven by AI cloud operations. Adjusted earnings per share reached $0.31, surpassing analyst expectations and marking a reversal from prior quarterly losses. The company delayed its $7 billion annualized run-rate target to February, projected 2026 revenue at the low end of guidance, and raised capital expenditure forecasts for both 2026 and 2027. Customer prepayments are expected to help fund future investment, with pretax breakeven anticipated by the fourth quarter of 2027, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees significant downside risk despite the impressive year-over-year revenue surge. He notes the stock's failure to hold key moving averages and persistent bearish momentum outweigh recent positive earnings results. Fundamental concerns arise as the company delays its growth targets, raises capex, and faces pronounced selling pressure. Technicals confirm a dominant negative backdrop, with momentum indicators suggesting further weakness could follow. "Until Nebius breaks above resistance and delivers consistent profitability, I remain cautious and expect sellers to stay in control," Kharitonov says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, highlights Nebius Group’s transformative revenue growth and strong earnings beat as a sign of deep demand for its AI cloud operations. He believes the company's willingness to boost capital expenditures and adjust guidance reflects confidence in structural tailwinds and future expansion. The adjusted breakeven timeline and large customer prepayments position the business for robust scaling. "Despite short-term selling, the bullish structure remains intact and I see multiple opportunities for further growth in the AI cloud market," Karapetjanc states.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, observes that sentiment remains weak as Nebius slips further below technical averages and intraday volatility spikes. He notes sellers dominate the current session, but oversold signals and neutral oscillators hint at a potential rebound. Any relief rally hinges on buyers reclaiming $119.88, while a breakdown invites sharp tests near $97.78. "Traders should watch price action closely — sentiment could shift quickly if exhaustion turns into short-term buying," Turakhiya remarks.

Bearish trend entrenched as technical breakdown extends and sellers dominate

Nebius Group is trading well below its short-, medium-, and long-term moving averages, with the price at $117.89 versus the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day levels of $153.60, $196.50, and $179.25. This configuration points to sustained pressure from sellers across all horizons, with the Ichimoku Kijun at $173.71 confirming a dominant bearish trend backdrop. Immediate levels are marked by support at $109.21 and resistance at $119.88. Momentum indicators reinforce the prevailing downward tone: MACD and Average Directional Index (ADX) both signal further selling pressure. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Stochastic RSI are neutral, while the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) is in the oversold zone, suggesting selling exhaustion could emerge. Bull/Bear Power (BBP) is negative, confirming sellers have intraday control. Awesome Oscillator is neutral. The stock is currently down $10.04 or 7.85%, having opened with a downside gap of about 3.38%. Price sits mid-range between $109.21 and $123.61, and intraday volatility stands at 13.19%. The session dynamic reflects steep selling pressure after the open, consistent with the overall momentum picture.

Previously it was reported that Leverage Shares plc triggered an intraday rebalance on its leveraged Nebius ETP after a sharp decline in the underlying stock. The current technical profile signals ongoing downside risk for Nebius Group, with traders advised to closely watch the $109.21 support level for signs of further deterioration.
