Mark my words, Nebius will be the first Trillion dollar Neo-cloud company and here is why (Save this).
Roman Chernin, CEO of Nebius just said on 20VC that Nebius raised prices and demand didn't move.
When a company can raise prices and still have more demand than supply, that's the opportunity.
Chernin also explained why he is deliberately not charging the maximum.
As AI shifts from training, a one time cost to inference, which is the ongoing cost of serving every user and every query, compute pricing becomes the cost structure of the entire AI economy.
If Nebius prices customers out, those customers cannot grow, and Nebius cannot grow with them.
That is the compounding flywheel built directly into the revenue model.
The numbers are already confirming it.
Q1 2026 revenue came in at $399 million, up 684% year over year.
The AI cloud segment grew 840% and represented 98% of total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA flipped positive to $129.5 million.
And Nebius signed a long-term agreement with Meta worth up to $27 billion over five years, a hyperscaler outsourcing its own AI compute stack to a neocloud, which tells you that even companies with $50 billion capex budgets cannot build fast enough.
Goldman Sachs says the consensus is underestimating 2027 hyperscaler capex by $500 billion.
Every dollar hyperscalers cannot provision themselves flows to neoclouds like Nebius.
As that gap widens, Nebius captures the overflow with 3 gigawatts of contracted power already secured and a CEO who just told you raising prices did not dent demand.
