How these ranges are built

Every number here is the company's own reported figure, not a comparison with other companies. The ranges come from this company's own results and its share price. Where it reports in a different currency from the one its shares trade in, the price-to-earnings range is left out rather than mixing the two.

What does Nebius Group N.V. do?

Does Nebius Group N.V. pay a dividend?

No - Nebius Group N.V. doesn't currently pay a dividend, so the whole return would rest on the share price. Plenty of growing companies reinvest their profits instead of paying them out - neither approach is better or worse, they're just different.

Does Nebius Group N.V. have more cash or more debt?

It holds about $9.37B in cash against about $9.59B of debt - so it has net debt of about $217.20M. Debt is not automatically a problem - it funds growth - but it has to be serviced and repaid, which matters more when profits wobble.

From the latest reported balance sheet. Cash and debt levels change, and some borrowing is normal - this is context, not a judgment.

If you had put $1,000 into Nebius Group N.V.
$11,228+1023%

Over about 2 years to 2026-09-11. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.

How much has Nebius Group N.V. actually fallen?

−58%

Over the last 2 years of daily prices, Nebius Group N.V. fell as much as −58% from a high to a later low. Falls like this are normal when you own a share.

Past falls are not a forecast - it can fall further, or recover.
