Switch is reportedly discussing a multibillion-dollar funding round at a post-money valuation above $50 billion, with Brookfield, KKR and other institutional investors interested. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are advising.
Ce qui change
The contrast with its 2022 take-private deal is stark: DigitalBridge and IFM bought Switch at about $11 billion including debt. The new number reflects AI’s hunger for data-center capacity, especially power-backed campuses.
À surveiller
Switch claims more than 1.5 gigawatts of green-power capacity and plans millions of additional square feet by 2030. An IPO as early as next year would test whether public markets price data-center landlords like AI infrastructure companies.
