Yandex Cloud

Yandex Cloud ist eines der wenigen Unternehmen, dessen Problem nicht darin besteht, die Nachfrage zu beweisen. Die Daten zeigen ein profitables russisches Cloud-Geschäft mit Tausenden von Kunden, einer breiten Produktpalette und einer soliden Netzwerkinfrastruktur. Die Frage ist, ob die Bedingungen, die diese Nachfrage schaffen, auch die Marge untergraben.

Yandex Cloud is one of the few companies in this batch whose problem is not proving that demand exists. The public record already shows a growing, profitable Russian cloud business with tens of thousands of customers, a broad product suite, GPU services, local compliance positioning, real network infrastructure and a parent company that reports substantial B2B technology revenue. The harder question is whether the conditions creating that demand also make the cloud margin more fragile. Sanctions, state procurement rules, data-sovereignty pressure and the separation of the Russian Yandex business from its former Dutch parent have pushed more Russian enterprises toward local cloud capacity. The same forces make advanced chips, server fleets, vendor support, financing and trust more expensive to secure.
