Why Shares of Nebius Group Are Skyrocketing Today
Key Points Nebius Group reported strong second-quarter financial results. Management upwardly revised the annualized revenue run rate forecast for the end of 2025. With Nebius stock soaring in 2025, investors looking for cloud computing exposure may prefer an ETF at this point. 10 stocks we like better than Nebius Group › Investors have their heads in the clouds today -- or rather, they have their minds on a leading cloud stock. Nebius Group (NASDAQ: NBIS), developer of a cloud platform uniquely suited for artificial intelligence (AI) computing, announced second-quarter 2025 earnings, and investors are thrilled with the results. As of 10:27 a.m. ET on Thursday, shares of Nebius were up 24.5%. It's not only beating analysts' estimates that has investors excited Beating analysts' expectations for $101.2 million on the top line, Nebius posted second-quarter revenue of $105.1 million. Similarly, the company reported a $0.38 loss per share, narrower than the $0.42 loss per share that one analyst had been expecting. But it's management's outlook for the remainder of 2025 that has investors particularly excited. Because of what it credited in its letter to shareholders as "strong momentum," management upwardly revised the annualized revenue run-rate guidance for the end of 2025 to a range of $900 million to $1.1 billion from the original projection of $750 million to $1 billion. Addressing the company's strong prospects, CEO Arkady Volozh said: "Demand for AI infrastructure -- compute, software and services -- is only going to get stronger as use cases multiply. We are aggressively scaling up capacity to capture this substantial opportunity and are in the process of securing more than 1 GW of power by the end of 2026." Is it too late to buy this AI hyperscaler after today? It's not only semiconductor companies like Nvidia and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing that investors are focusing on for AI exposure; they have recognized the appeal of AI hyperscalers like Nebius, which provide the crucial backbone for AI computing to occur. Shares have soared more than 140% since the start of the year, and they may be running out of room to race higher.

Feeling underpaid at work? Here's how to navigate salary frustration in 2025.
Many American workers still feel they're not paid what they're worth, despite modest improvements in compensation trends in 2025. According to new data from HR tech company Energage, just 69% of employees feel their pay is fair — making pay one of the least satisfying parts of the workplace experience. What's behind the frustration? Economic pressures like inflation and rising costs are eroding perceived gains. 'Salaries aren't keeping up with inflation,' says Sam DeMase, a career expert at ZipRecruiter. 'While workers may feel like they're earning more due to pay increases, their purchasing power remains stagnant.' With job growth slowing and fewer open roles, KPMG notes that companies have limited room for wage hikes. Here's what workers and employers can do to close the gap. What employees can do when pay feels unfair DeMase says workers can increase their odds of getting pay raises with these strategies: 'Consider all your skills, experience, software knowledge and certifications,' DeMase says. 'Mapping out what you have to offer and how that compares to what a role requires can help you advocate for the pay you deserve.' Next, access fair workplace compensation data through ZipRecruiter's salary estimator or by comparing job descriptions for similar roles. This research will show if you're likely to be underpaid. It also provides the salary transparency you need for effective discussions. 'Armed with this information, negotiate with a focus on your business impact and results rather than making it personal,' advises DeMase. Tip: To negotiate a pay raise in 2025, don't cite cost-of-living concerns. Instead, connect your experience to employer needs. Say something like, "You mentioned a priority for this role is to hire, train and retain a team. I did this successfully in my last position, and I'm excited to bring my expertise to this role." Then make your ask: "Can we get my total compensation closer to $100,000?" Beyond knowing market rates, DeMase suggests targeting positions that align with your strongest skills. 'Your superpowers and your results are your unique value proposition,' she says. 'If you don't know your value proposition, potential employers don't, either.' When applying and writing your cover letter, highlight how you'll deliver on the job requirements: "I know you're looking for someone who is a builder, and that is exactly what I do best." Tip: To clarify your value, DeMase recommends using this template: "Based on my background in X and skills in Y, I help companies/teams/clients achieve Z." Then support your claims with powerful examples and measurable results from your past work. What employers must understand about today's pay reality Pay frustration isn't just an employee issue. For companies hoping to attract and retain talent, compensation clarity and transparency are essential. Here's what employers often miss and how to start fixing it. 'Meeting or exceeding market rates will attract and retain the highest quality candidates,' explains DeMase. But competitive pay alone won't solve trust issues if managers make vague promises about future raises. For example, 'if a leader says, 'We'll revisit your raise next quarter,' without further explanation, the employee will be demotivated,' she warns. To avoid this, DeMase recommends being direct about what workers need to do to earn raises. Do they need to upskill? Do they need to take on specific projects, and if so, which ones? Do they need to achieve particular business results, and what, exactly? 'Employees crave clear and honest feedback,' she emphasizes. 'Keep yours in the know, and be willing to have open and honest conversations.' 'If the promotion process is murky, your team will lose trust,' DeMase cautions. Great leaders provide a clear skills roadmap for each level. Outline exactly what employees need to do to move from manager to director to C-suite roles. Beyond preventing confusion, this transparency builds loyalty. DeMase encourages promoting from within whenever possible and sharing those success stories. 'Employees crave — and ultimately trust — a company that doesn't exclusively hire externally for higher-level roles,' she explains. What is USA TODAY Top Workplaces 2025?

OpenAI unveils GPT-5 model, featuring improved coding and problem-solving chops
TECH The powerful new multi-modal model boosts reasoning, code generation, and real-time inference, and will be available to both free and paid users. [Images: Nathan Howard/Bloomberg via Getty Images; svetolk/Adobe Stock] BY OpenAI on Thursday unveiled its highly anticipated GPT-5, a powerful multi-modal AI model featuring major advancements in problem-solving and coding. The new flagship model was announced during a Thursday morning livestream. Unlike previous releases that were limited to paid subscribers, GPT-5 will be available to free-tier ChatGPT users as well, OpenAI said. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described interacting with the new model as akin to conversing with a PhD-level expert, noting that while GPT-3 was comparable to a high school student and GPT-4 to a college student, 'With GPT-5 you get an entire team of PhD experts in your pocket, ready to help you,' Altman said. During the announcement, OpenAI researchers emphasized that GPT-5 was designed to be more reliable and accurate, with fewer hallucinations. GPT-5 offers improvements in reasoning, higher-quality code generation, greater autonomy with reduced need for user input, and seamless integration with platforms like ChatGPT and Google's Gmail and Calendar apps. Earlier language models relied only on pre-training to generate responses. GPT-5, like recent inference-based models, can also incorporate new data from user prompts in real time (a method known as 'test-time computing'). This release also unifies OpenAI's model naming, replacing names like o1 and o4-mini with the GPT-5 family, signaling a shift to models that combine both pre-training and inference. For many, the key question is whether the leap from GPT‑4 to GPT-5 will prove as dramatic as the jump from GPT‑3 to GPT‑4. Independent testing will shed light on that. OpenAI also recently introduced two 'open-weight' models —gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b—which are freely available and modifiable by developers. This move marked a rare shift from its typically closed model strategy. However, with GPT-5, OpenAI returns to its more traditional 'closed' approach. In addition, the company announced a partnership with the U.S. federal government to provide executive branch agencies access to its enterprise-grade chatbot. Through a landmark agreement with the General Services Administration (GSA), ChatGPT Enterprise will be made available to agencies for just $1 per agency for one year. OpenAI has assured that it will not use government data to train its AI models. The early-rate deadline for Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies Awards is Friday, September 5, at 11:59 p.m. PT.
