Wall Street Is Growing Skeptical of the Data Center Boom
By Maureen Farrell
(New York Times) -- Several companies tied to the data center industry have delayed their initial public offerings amid the increasing public backlash to these energy guzzling facilities.
The backlash against data centers that is shaping elections and kitchen table debates across the country is now spilling onto Wall Street.
Companies that house the data centers or supply them with energy and land for construction were expected to dominate the initial public offering market over the coming months, feeding investors’ seemingly insatiable appetite for everything related to artificial intelligence.
But some investors are voicing increasing skepticism about the growth expectations for data centers and the risks associated with their build-out, forcing industry executives and their advisers to recalibrate their plans to raise tens of billions of dollars in public markets.
SB Energy, a subsidiary of the Japanese conglomerate SoftBank that has proposed to build the largest data center project in the world in Ohio, had originally planned its I.P.O. for this month.

But the offering has been delayed, as investors question the company’s sought-after valuation of $50 billion or more, according to interviews with four people familiar with the deal’s marketing efforts. So far, bankers have struggled to find enough buyers of SB Energy stock within price ranges the company and its bankers had sought.
SB Energy’s struggles to win over investors comes as Holtec, a company serving the nuclear energy industry that is looking to supply power for A.I., said last week that it was pausing its I.P.O. plans indefinitely, citing several factors that has “impaired investor confidence in the market for new public offerings.”
Holtec pointed to the “uncertainty of data center development” as the primary reason for the postponement, according to a company release.
Holtec Nuclear owns and operates one main nuclear power site and builds small nuclear reactors that can be used to power data centers. The company, which had planned to start trading on Nasdaq last week, was seeking to raise as much as $900 million at a valuation of up to $10 billion.
Another company that’s slowed the timing of its offering, according to three people briefed on the matter, is the power company Aggreko, which counts A.I. data centers among its key customers. Aggreko also provides power to live events and mining projects, but it had highlighted data center clients as the basis for a large jump in revenue over the past year.

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.

And we are also aware that Trump and his cronies want a weaker EU by supporting the various far-right parties across the continent. Thankfully, we got rid of Orbán and Wilders but there's a few more to go

Are you that naive to think that this happened without the green light from DC? And that Vance and the right wingers just happen to be all over this (of course, some of them actually think Ceuta is in Spain, but geography is not a strong suit for MAGA)

The Moroccans doing the USA's & Israel's bidding in facilitating the hordes going to #Ceuta will be remembered when Spain, Portugal, and Morocco co-host the 2030 World Cup (assuming Infantino's project goes nowhere)

Russia was 2nd or 3rd in oil production. Ukraine has knocked out about 1/3 of it. Saudi Arabia is 2nd/3rd. Exports disrupted by Iran in the Gulf and the Houthis in the Red Sea. 6th-8th are Iran, Iraq, UAE. 10th is Kuwait. All now blocked. Contra govts and markets, I think this’ll bite eventually.
