Data Center Operator Switch Prepares $80 Billion IPO

With the artificial intelligence sector driving unprecedented demand for specialized computing infrastructure, data center operator Switch has tapped Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase to lead an initial public offering that could raise $10 billion, valuing the Las Vegas-based firm at nearly $80 billion, including debt.

The potential listing, which could materialize as early as the fourth quarter, represents one of the most significant market debuts in recent years. Switch, founded in 2000 by CEO Rob Roy, operates large-scale campuses providing the power, cooling, and connectivity essential for energy-intensive GPU clusters. Its client roster includes industry heavyweights such as Nvidia, Dell Technologies, and FedEx. The company has previously explored raising capital at a private valuation of at least $40 billion, signaling strong institutional interest in its growth trajectory.

This move highlights a broader trend of investor appetite for AI-adjacent infrastructure. Following its $11 billion take-private deal by DigitalBridge and IFM Investors in 2022, Switch has positioned itself as a provider of renewable energy-powered facilities—a critical selling point for technology firms navigating decarbonization mandates. While the final terms of the IPO are subject to market conditions and ongoing deliberations, the firm’s entry into the public market would join a growing pipeline of high-profile technology and infrastructure listings currently fueling a resurgence in U.S. capital markets.
