Nebius Group N.V. ( NBIS ) shares are rising Monday. The stock may be getting a boost after the company announced the expansion of its global AI infrastructure footprint with a U.K. deployment.

What To Know: AI infrastructure company Nebius ( NBIS ) announced on Monday the deployment of a Nvidia Corp ( NVDA ) Blackwell Ultra GPU cluster in the U.K. The company said the deployment will strengthen the digital infrastructure in the country and support academic and research communities and public services.
