- Firmus, a Nvidia-backed Australian data centre operator, scrapped its planned $5 billion IPO, per Reuters and the Financial Times
- Bloomberg reports the deal had been aiming for a $30 billion valuation before collapsing within 48 hours, while Reuters frames the failure as a blow to Australia's shrinking share market
Why it matters: The collapse of a Nvidia-backed AI infrastructure deal at this scale, with Bloomberg citing a $30 billion target valuation, shows public market appetite for data-centre IPOs has narrowed fast. Australia's already-thin share market absorbs another high-profile pullout in the same window, per Reuters.
