# Nebius Group Falls 4% as $5B Convertible Settles, Datadog Drops 3%, Cloudflare Slips > Source: > Published: 2026-08-24 17:43:08+00:00 [AI cloud stocks](https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/01/19/3-ai-stocks-that-may-be-the-biggest-winners-in-2026/) are drifting lower midday Monday, and the group’s tone reflects a single scheduled supply event rather than a broader shift in sentiment toward the theme. **Nebius Group**‘s ([NASDAQ:NBIS](https://247wallst.com/companies/NBIS/) | [NBIS Price Prediction](https://247wallst.com/companies/nbis/price-prediction)) [$5 billion convertible note offering](https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/08/19/nebius-group-sinks-13-on-4-5b-convertible-note-offering-and-share-exchange-plan/) settles today, and the stock is absorbing the fresh supply. Nebius Group stock is down 4% to $211.21, pacing declines across the [neocloud](https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/08/12/nebius-is-up-18-is-it-outperforming-ai-cloud-stocks-like-coreweave-and-cloudflare/) and cloud-software group as the deal closes. Meanwhile, **Datadog** ([NASDAQ:DDOG](https://247wallst.com/companies/DDOG/)) shares are down 3% to $228.43, drifting with the sector rather than reacting to a dated corporate event like Nebius Group’s. **Cloudflare** ([NYSE:NET](https://247wallst.com/companies/NET/)) stock is falling 3% to $284.50, tracking the same soft cloud-software backdrop without any name-specific catalyst. The broad cloud complex is barely moving in comparison. Notably, the **WisdomTree Cloud Computing Fund** ([NASDAQ:WCLD](https://247wallst.com/companies/WCLD/)) is down 0.8% to $40.35, a fraction of Nebius Group’s decline, which locates today’s pressure at a single name rather than across the AI cloud theme. That gap between one stock and its sector is what a dated supply event tends to look like. ## Convertible Settlement Delivers Fresh Supply Nebius Group priced $5 billion of convertible senior notes with net proceeds of roughly $4.94 billion, and the notes are expected to settle today. The deal came in two tranches: $3 billion due 2030 carrying a 0.5% coupon and convertible at $313.46 per share, and $2 billion due 2034 carrying a 4.5% coupon and convertible at $324.65. Both tranches accrete, so the company repays 110% of principal on the 2030 notes and 125% on the 2034 notes at maturity. Separately, and settling on the same date, Nebius agreed to [exchange $400 million each of its existing 2029 and 2031 convertible notes](https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/08/19/nebius-group-sinks-13-on-4-5b-convertible-note-offering-and-share-exchange-plan/) for roughly 15.8 million new Class A shares, layering a mechanical share-issuance event on top of the fresh convertible. The financing dwarfs current operations. Trailing-twelve-month revenue at Nebius Group came in at $1.36 billion, so a $5 billion raise is more than three times that figure. [Capital expenditures](https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/08/22/ais-absurd-spending-boom-hyperscalers-are-spending-102-of-cloud-revenue-on-capex/) at Nebius Group ran roughly $5.7 billion in Q2 2026 alone, nearly ten times quarterly revenue, the same buildout dynamic we mapped across seven non-chipmaker AI suppliers in a [free report](https://247wallst.com/pages/ai-power-seven-offer-d905ec99.html). That level of spend is why the company keeps returning to convertible markets, since the buildout consumes cash at a scale current revenue can’t cover. ## Why Nebius Now Leads the Decline Only Nebius Group has a dated corporate event landing today, which is why the stock is falling hardest. Nebius stock was up 162% year to date (YTD) through Friday’s close, making it the runaway leader of the AI cloud complex heading into the settlement and the name with the most room to give back on a supply event. Datadog stock was up 73% YTD through Friday’s close, and Cloudflare stock was up 49% over the same stretch. Both names reported strong quarterly numbers earlier in August, and with no fresh news on the tape today, their moves look like drift alongside a soft sector rather than a specific reaction to any headline. **Oracle** ([NYSE:ORCL](https://247wallst.com/companies/ORCL/)) stock is down 2% to $143.51, and Oracle stock was down 24% YTD through Friday’s close, making it this year’s group laggard even as Nebius Group has been the runaway leader. Also weaker across the neocloud complex is Nebius’s peer group, though the settlement move at Nebius is what stands out today. The setup looks like a supply event rather than a change in sentiment toward AI infrastructure. If the pressure were coming from the theme itself, the WisdomTree Cloud Computing Fund would be down more than 0.8%, and Oracle, Datadog, and Cloudflare would be showing steeper declines than their current midday moves. ## Positioning Around Today’s Supply Event The Nebius Group situation reads as aggressive financing against contracted demand. Its Q2 2026 revenue was $582.3 million, up 454% year over year (YoY), and its remaining performance obligations stood at $37.5 billion, which is the demand backdrop management is funding against. Investors should keep their position sizes modest around a stock digesting this much fresh supply in a single session. The convertible tranches settle at strike prices well above current levels, so today’s action reflects the mechanics of the raise and note exchange more than any change in the underlying thesis. Traders can watch for whether the $211 area holds into the close for NBIS, which would suggest buyers are absorbing today’s supply cleanly. Shareholders may want to check for updates on Nebius Group’s next capacity disclosures, since the same $37.5 billion backlog is what today’s dilution is meant to build against, and any hard number on new gigawatts online or additional customer contracts would help reset the calculus around the fresh share count. *Contact [email protected] for any questions or corrections.*
