It&#8217;s also an active investor. When it comes across a company it likes, it isn&#8217;t afraid to invest. One company Nvidia has taken a major stake in is Nebius (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/nbis\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NBIS<\/a> -13.29%). It owns over 22 million shares of Nebius &#8212; just shy of 10% of the company. <\/p>\n<p>So far in 2026, this has proven to be a genius investment, as the stock is up roughly 170% this year at the time of this writing. However, Nvidia isn&#8217;t investing in Nebius for this short-term gain. It has its eyes on much greater returns, and Nebius could easily deliver them with its superior growth rate.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Investor watching a stock chart rise.\" fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"h-auto max-w-full rounded object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/1786090930_216_.jpeg\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"caption\">Image source: Getty Images.<\/p>\n<p>Nebius&#8217; growth is expected to be incredible<\/p>\n<p>Nebius is a neocloud company that focuses on providing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/cloud-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">artificial intelligence (AI) computing power to its clients via the cloud<\/a>. There is a major demand for Nebius&#8217; services, and it has signed several AI hyperscalers to its services, including Microsoft (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/msft\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MSFT<\/a> +2.54%) and Meta Platforms (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/quote\/nasdaq\/meta\/\" class=\"font-bold hover:underline\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">META<\/a> +0.19%). It also has clients of all sizes, but these major companies drive the bulk of Nebius&#8217; growth.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of growth, Nebius is among the fastest-growing stocks in the market. In Q1 2026, it put up 684% revenue growth. That&#8217;s not a typo or a boost from a one-time event like an acquisition. That&#8217;s real demand that&#8217;s driving jaw-dropping growth.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Nebius Group Stock Quote\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"w-full flex-none object-contain\" style=\"color:transparent\"  src=\"https:\/\/g.foolcdn.com\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fg.foolcdn.com%2Fart%2Fcompanylogos%2Fmark%2FNBIS.png&amp;w=128&amp;op=resize\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Change<\/p>\n<p>(-13.29%) $-29.11<\/p>\n<p>Current Price<\/p>\n<p>$189.88<\/p>\n<p>Key Data Points<\/p>\n<p>Market Cap<\/p>\n<p>$48BMarket cap calculated using publicly traded shares outstanding only.

For Q2, Wall Street expects 450% revenue growth and 539% for the remainder of 2026. Anyone who follows the AI industry also knows that there will be several more years of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/investing\/stock-market\/market-sectors\/information-technology\/ai-stocks\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">strong AI build-outs<\/a>, and 2027 is also expected to be a monstrous year for Nebius. Wall Street estimates 238% revenue growth for 2027, which would bring the company&#8217;s revenue total to about $11.5 billion. For reference, Nebius&#8217; revenue was a mere $530 million at the end of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia sees this huge growth, and likely the massive orders it&#8217;s placing for its size, and has invested in it as a result. That should prompt investors to follow suit with Nvidia, which frankly has more information about Nebius and what it&#8217;s doing than the market does, and consider an investment in Nebius. While it&#8217;s not insider trading, it&#8217;s pretty much insider investing, and when you see anyone on the inside load up on shares, it&#8217;s a great sign that the stock is about to skyrocket. As a result, I think Nebius is a smart stock to buy now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fool.com\/author\/20439\/\" class=\"text-cyan-900 hover:text-cyan-800\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Keithen Drury<\/a> has positions in Meta Platforms, Microsoft, Nebius Group, and Nvidia.
