Russia's largest tech company has stopped giving year-end guidance after attacks on its data centers.

According to a company statement relayed by Interfax, Yandex is withdrawing its 2026 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance in connection with the October drone attacks on its data centers; after them, the statement says, the company faced additional external factors that make it hard to assess results through the end of the year. Yandex had previously expected revenue growth of about 20% and adjusted EBITDA of around 350 billion rubles. It will consider resuming guidance from next quarter. The company does not plan to increase capital expenditure this year: investment over nine months came to 115 billion rubles, and reserve capacity and equipment had been bought in advance. Yandex writes that it is not revising plans for its key business areas.
