Nebius Group (NBIS) saw its stock price plummet 5.18% in after-hours trading on Thursday, following the announcement of a $1 billion private placement of convertible notes. This significant drop comes on the heels of a strong performance earlier in the day, highlighting investors' mixed reactions to the company's financial moves.
The convertible notes offering, while providing Nebius with substantial capital for expansion, has raised concerns among investors about potential share dilution. Convertible notes can be changed into company stock, which could increase the number of outstanding shares and potentially decrease the value of existing stockholders' investments.
Despite the after-hours setback, Nebius Group has been experiencing strong growth in its AI cloud services business. The company recently reported a 385% increase in first-quarter revenue and has ambitious plans to triple its annualized revenue run rate by the fourth quarter of this year. The newly raised funds are likely to be used to support this rapid expansion, particularly in building out cloud infrastructure to meet the growing demand for AI services.
