Nscale targets $30B IPO valuation as AI infrastructure firm with $103B backlog but faces high costs and losses.

Nscale Limited plans an IPO with a $30 billion valuation, positioning itself as a vertically integrated AI infrastructure provider. The company boasts a $103.4 billion contracted backlog and operates majority-owned data centers, Nvidia GPU rentals, and proprietary cloud software. Despite rapid revenue growth and strong customer prepayments, Nscale remains loss-making and capital-intensive due to expenses outpacing revenue recognition. Its valuation, at 22 times contracted power, appears high compared to peers, raising caution despite marquee contracts like Anthropic. The IPO process is just beginning with the recent S-1 filing.

Nscale's planned IPO values the company at $30 billion, highlighting its significant contracted backlog of $103.4 billion.
