Nebius Announces Partnership with Palantir, Shares Rise
Shares of Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS) rose nearly 9% on September 8, 2026, following the announcement of a new partnership with Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR). The deal names Nebius as Palantir's preferred sovereign AI infrastructure partner. This marks an expansion for Nebius beyond its core hyperscaler clients into software companies like Palantir. The collaboration aims to deliver sovereign AI solutions and integrate Nebius' compute capabilities within Palantir’s perimeter, potentially opening doors to government customers with high demand in the neocloud space. While Palantir may not be a major revenue source for Nebius due to its smaller size compared to hyperscalers, it validates the broader market potential of sovereign AI infrastructure. Nebius reported 454% year-over-year revenue growth in its most recent quarter, reaching $582.3 million. The partnership is expected to extend its growth trajectory and provide further validation for neocloud providers.
