Nebius Q2 2026 Earnings Call Highlights Strong Demand for AI Cloud Capacity
During Nebius' second-quarter earnings call on August 12, 2026, CEO Arkady Volozh highlighted strong demand and a flexible business model that allows the company to capture value from different types of cloud deals. The firm reported four landmark contracts in Q2 with companies like Reflection and Cohere, each valued at over $1 billion. These long-term agreements yield between $20 million and $25 million per megawatt, with upfront payments covering 50-60% of the associated capital expenditures. In addition to these midterm deals, Nebius is also securing high-value short-term contracts for up to six months at rates ranging from $40 million to over $50 million per megawatt. These shorter agreements are intended to meet urgent client needs and will begin contributing in 2027 rather than affecting the current year's revenue guidance. The company emphasized its ability to retain capacity strategically, choosing when and how to sell based on market conditions. CFO Dado Alonso was expected to provide further financial details during the call.
