DATA - CENTER LISTINGS PULLED AND BONDS DUMPED AS AI STOCKS SELL OFF
AI stock sell-off triggers data-center listing withdrawals and bond dumping.
Context
What happened: AirTrunk, Firmus, and SB Energy paused or pulled planned listings in the past week as AI stocks sold off and data center bonds fell.
Key numbers: Firmus had aimed to raise $5 billion. Equity fundraising for the sector is down 4.6 percent year-to-date. Meta/Blue Owl Hyperion bonds fell below 91 cents on the dollar.
Why it matters: Dell, HPE, and NetApp dropped after a Barclays note said it sees no meaningful AI inflection yet. The Philadelphia semiconductor index fell a seventh straight day, and Thursday's equity bounce went to healthcare and defensives while tech stayed weak.
