DayOne Data Centers planned Nasdaq IPO

Overview

Singapore-based data center operator DayOne announced plans in late September 2026 to proceed with an initial public offering (IPO) in November, despite broader sector challenges and rising interest rates. The company, which provides infrastructure for artificial intelligence and cloud computing, aimed to file its registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in mid-October. By early October, DayOne Data Centers Limited officially filed a registration statement with the SEC to list American Depositary Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol ‘DODC’. The offering includes underwriters such as Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, BofA Securities, and Citigroup. Financial disclosures in the filing revealed a high level of customer concentration, noting that the company’s largest unnamed customer accounted for 69.4% of its 2025 revenue and 69.2% of its revenue for the first half of 2026. While many customer contracts span 10 to 15 years, the filing specifies that all contracts include provisions for early termination. Subsequent filings revealed that DayOne is managing significant debt as it expands capacity for hyperscalers. As of June 30, total borrowings stood at $4.426 billion, with outstanding debt reaching approximately $4.9 billion when including finance leases. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the company reported revenue of $512.0 million, up from $151.5 million the previous year, though its net loss widened to $77.2 million. The company recorded $3.110 billion in capital expenditure during the first half of the year and estimates that $11.4 billion will be required to complete ongoing projects. In mid-October, a consortium of seven lenders arranged an expanded multi-currency financing of RM15 billion (US$3.7 billion) to support DayOne’s data center platform development in Johor, Malaysia. This financing includes a US$2.4 billion offshore term loan facility and a RM5.5 billion Murabahah facility.
