AI cloud provider Nscale files for NYSE IPO
Nscale, a cloud provider specializing in AI infrastructure, has filed for an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker 'NSCL'. The company, spun out of cryptocurrency mining firm Arkon Energy, reported $140.6 million in revenue for the first half of 2026, up 1252% year-over-year, with a net loss of $1.02 billion. Nscale has secured major customers including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft, and plans to acquire Anyscale. The company has over 1,000 employees and significant GPU capacity, with investors including Nvidia, Dell, and Fidelity. The IPO filing highlights the growing demand for AI computing power and the emergence of 'neocloud' providers.
Nscale's IPO tests Wall Street's appetite for concentrated AI bets
British neocloud Nscale is preparing for an IPO on the NYSE, aiming for a $35 billion valuation and raising $3 billion. The company, spun out of Arkon Energy two years ago, has amassed over $103 billion in contracts, but 85% of that is tied to two customers: Microsoft ($43.8 billion) and Anthropic ($44.6 billion). Anthropic's deal is contingent on Nscale securing financing and meeting stringent milestones. Nscale reported revenue of $140.6 million for H1 2026, with net losses of $1.02 billion. The IPO will test investor appetite for companies with high customer concentration, a trend highlighted by a Sona Asset Management paper. Competitors include CoreWeave, Nebius, Lambda, and Crusoe.
