Nvidia出資のFirmus、55億ドルIPOが48時間で崩壊
Data Center Darling's $30B IPO Dream Crushed in 48 Hours
AIデータセンターの寵児とされたFirmus Gridは、Nvidiaの支援を受け、オーストラリア史上最大級となる最大55億ドルのIPOを目前にしていた。しかし、米国のファンドマネージャーがバリュエーションに難色を示し、わずか48時間で計画は頓挫。AI関連IPOへの警戒感が広がる。
After months of touting itself as an essential artificial intelligence play, the Nvidia Corp.-backed company was on the cusp of pulling off one of Australia’s biggest-ever initial public offerings of up to $5.5 billion, and at a valuation fit for a top 10 player in the industry. But that story wilted under the scrutiny of US fund managers that bankers were counting on to buy a chunk of the deal.
