The optimism came on the heels of surging data center demand amid the rapid expansion of the artificial intelligence sector.

For its part, Nebius Group NV (NASDAQ:NBIS) is underway with the expansion of its data center portfolio, targeting 3 GW of contracted capacity by the end of the year.

Of the total, a 1 GW scale would come from its data center in Independence, Missouri, while another 310 MW is being developed in Finland. The latter is targeted for full operations next year and is set to be Europe’s largest data center so far.

Apart from the said facilities, Nebius Group NV (NASDAQ:NBIS) also announced plans to build more data centers in Finland for its continued capacity buildout.

Construction aside, the company last month secured a $27 billion deal with Meta Platforms Inc. for the delivery of compute capacity for the latter’s needs.

Of the total amount, $12 billion is set to be delivered over the next five years, to be followed by another $15 billion for another five years.

The deal followed Nebius’ partnership with Nvidia, under which they would jointly develop and deploy next-generation hyperscale cloud for the AI market.

Nvidia also invested $2 billion in Nebius.
