# Why Nebius Group (NBIS) fell 7.80% on October 22, 2026

Nebius Group (NBIS) fell 7.80% on October 22, 2026 — Tech selloff on FTC subpoenas drags AI peers.

## What happened

A broad tech selloff hit AI infrastructure names after the FTC subpoenaed OpenAI and Anthropic, with the report framing a $500 billion threat to Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.

## Why it moved

Neoclouds depend on a small set of AI lab customers for contracted GPU demand, so a probe into those labs raises doubts about future contract visibility.

## Why it matters

Nebius sits in the GPU Neocloud theme, which rented out AI compute on the back of big contracts and lender financing. The theme is now testing whether customer concentration and funding can hold up under scrutiny.

## What would break the thesis

If the FTC probe stays narrow and the labs keep signing and expanding compute contracts, the sell-off looks like sentiment and the group should recover.
