Nebius (NBIS) stock pushed meaningfully higher on Wednesday after the company secured approval to construct a 1.2-gigawatt artificial intelligence (AI) factory in Independence, Missouri.
This new campus will span roughly 400 acres and is expected to generate about 1,200 construction jobs and 130 permanent tech roles once operational, with projected tax payments exceeding $650 million.
