Stars
Public Cloud (IaaS and PaaS)
Public Cloud (IaaS and PaaS) is OVHcloud's Star, generating €219.2 million in FY2025 revenue with 17.5% like‑for‑like growth and high ARR momentum.
OVHcloud is scaling resilience-rolling out a 3‑AZ Region in Milan by early 2026-to serve cloud‑native demand and enterprise SLAs.
Growth wins market share but needs heavy Capex (30-34% of revenue, ~€65-€75M in 2025) to expand regions and platform services.
Sovereign Cloud (SecNumCloud)
As leader in France's SecNumCloud market, OVHcloud reached €24 million ARR by late 2025, up 63% YoY, making Sovereign Cloud a Star in the BCG matrix.
European public sector and regulated firms are switching from US hyperscalers for data sovereignty, driving premium pricing and high stickiness for OVHcloud.
High margins come with steep costs: ongoing investments in SecNumCloud, ISO 27001, and ANSSI certifications remain essential to retain contracts.
US Subsidiary Operations
OVHcloud's US subsidiary crossed $100 million revenue in FY2025, growing ~35% YoY and outpacing France in several quarters, making the US a high-growth pillar for the group.
It's a Star in the BCG matrix: a competitively priced, transparent alternative to AWS and Azure for mid-market US firms, winning share in IaaS and hosted services.
Operations are profitable (positive EBITDA margin in 2025) but burn cash to fund North America expansion-capex rose to ~$120 million in 2025 for new data centers and network build-out.
AI and GPU-as-a-Service
AI and GPU-as-a-Service is a Star: in 2025 AI services drove ~2% of OVHcloud Public Cloud growth, powered by NVIDIA H100/B200 GPU rollouts enabling inference and training with sovereign-data controls.
Demand surged across Europe for privacy-first AI; OVHcloud captured a leading niche share in Sovereign AI, with GPU capacity growth of ~45% year-over-year and premium ASPs lifting segment revenue.
- 2025: AI = ~2% Public Cloud growth
- NVIDIA H100/B200 deployed; GPU capacity +45% YoY
- Leader in European Sovereign AI niche; high growth, high share
- Premium pricing for privacy-compliant AI workloads
Managed Kubernetes and Container Services
Managed Kubernetes and container services are Stars: the global managed Kubernetes market is forecast at $10.6B by 2027, and OVHcloud achieved double-digit adoption through 2025, serving 1.6M customers and driving above-market growth.
They bridge infrastructure and orchestration, demand continuous R&D to match hyperscaler features, and contribute rising revenue mix and platform stickiness.
- Market: $10.6B by 2027
- OVHcloud adoption: double-digit through 2025
- Customer base: 1.6M
- Requires ongoing R&D to match hyperscalers
OVHcloud Public Cloud surges: €219M revenue, +17.5% LFL; €120M capex fuels US & AI growth
Public Cloud is OVHcloud's BCG Star: €219.2M revenue in FY2025 (+17.5% LFL), positive EBITDA but ~€120M capex in 2025 for US/region expansion; SecNumCloud reached €24M ARR (+63% YoY) and AI GPU capacity grew ~45% YoY.
