Firmus has withdrawn its planned $5 billion IPO
Firmus, an Australian AI data center operator backed by Nvidia, has withdrawn its planned IPO. The company said the proposed offering terms did not adequately reflect its business strength and long-term growth outlook, and it will instead pursue private funding options. Firmus had reportedly sought to raise $5 billion through the IPO, which would have valued the company at about $30.6 billion.
