Südkorea: Elice-Aktie bricht nach Börsengang um mehr als 30 Prozent ein
Vor dem Börsengang war die Nachfrage nach den Aktien groß. Allerdings belasten die Zweifel an den KI-Investitionen die Neuemission – aber auch andere Unternehmen aus der Branche.
South Korea's Elice stock tumbled more than 30 percent after its debut on the Kosdaq stock exchange. On Tuesday, the shares fell as much as 33 percent, trading at around $46, down from a previous price of $48. Elice had sold the shares at $68 per share. The company used the proceeds from the IPO, which raised about $150 million, to develop and operate data centers for artificial intelligence (AI).
The IPO was the largest in the Kosdaq's history this year. Demand was high before the listing: retail investors ordered 400 times more shares than were available, while institutional investors, including funds and banks, placed nearly 400 times the available shares. Elice plans to invest the capital in portable data centers built from modules.
In the first half of 2026, the company expects to generate revenue of $25.9 million and a net profit of $7.8 million. In the full 2025 fiscal year, revenue was $29.8 million and net profit $3.9 million.
