AI Boom Fuels $1.5B Data Center IPO for AirTrunk
2 Apr
Summary
- AirTrunk seeks $1.5 billion via Singapore IPO.
- Citigroup, DBS, Jefferies tapped for IPO.
- AI demand drives data center investment surge.

Data center operator AirTrunk is preparing for a significant initial public offering in Singapore, potentially raising around $1.5 billion. The company, which was acquired by Blackstone Inc. in 2024, has engaged Citigroup Inc., DBS Group Holdings Ltd., and Jefferies Financial Group Inc. to guide its debut on the stock market.
The timing for this substantial IPO could be as early as this year, reflecting a strong market appetite for data center infrastructure. This heightened interest is primarily driven by the escalating demand for services supporting artificial intelligence technologies.
AirTrunk currently operates data centers across Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore. The company’s previous acquisition by Blackstone and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board for A$24 billion underscores its substantial valuation and strategic importance in the digital infrastructure landscape.
