On June 5, NEBIUS fell 3.59% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately $249.54/share, with trading volume of $4.38 million.
On the news front, BNP Paribas initiated coverage on NEBIUS with a Neutral rating and a $255 price target. The analyst team led by Stefan Slowinski noted that the stock has surged more than 210% year-to-date as a popular vehicle for investors betting on AI compute scarcity, but the sharp rally has compressed future upside potential. BNP Paribas simultaneously initiated coverage on competitor CoreWeave with an Outperform rating at a $192 target, signaling a relative preference shift. Prior to this, investment bank D.A. Davidson had also issued a warning on the stock.
Additionally, the Systems Software sector faced broad downward pressure, with Oracle down 1.48%, CrowdStrike down 1.41%, and Palo Alto Networks down 0.69%, creating a sector-wide drag that amplified NEBIUS's pullback. Insider selling activity disclosed on June 3 — including executive Marc Boroditsky selling 10,800 shares at $276.20 — may also be contributing to cautious sentiment.
