Sept 22 : Accelevation is targeting a valuation of up to $5.37 billion in its US initial public offering, the data center infrastructure company said on Tuesday, joining a wave of firms tapping investor demand for AI-related stocks.
The Olympus Partners-backed Accelevation and some selling shareholders are aiming to raise up to $720 million by offering 30 million shares priced between $20 and $24.
The fall IPO season began tentatively amid worries over surging bond yields and the first US interest-rate hike in three years, but a pipeline of big-name issuers points to a pickup in activity.
Nvidia-backed AI cloud firm Nscale and SoftBank-backed data center developer SB Energy filed for their IPOs this month, and AI startup Anthropic is preparing for a potential blockbuster listing later this year.
