IPO: Nvidia-gestützter KI-Konzern sagt milliardenschweren Börsengang ab
Der Börsengang von Firmus wäre der zweitgrößte in der Geschichte Australiens gewesen. Trotz globalem KI-Boom fürchtet der Konzern Volatilität und schlechte Marktbedingungen.
Sydney - The Australian data center operator Firmus, backed by chip giant Nvidia, has called off its planned $5 billion IPO. The company cited market volatility and conditions as the reason for the cancellation, announced on Friday. Investors in Firmus include Nvidia, Coatue Management, Blackstone, and Jane Street. Firmus provides AI infrastructure and cloud services, operating modular AI factories with the company's own energy and cooling technology.
Currently, the firm operates two centers in Melbourne and Singapore, with five more planned in the Asia-Pacific region. The IPO would have been the second-largest in Australia's history, but faced muted demand, signaling that investors are selective when it comes to AI-emitters, despite the AI boom driving global markets.
