Sept 18 (Reuters) - Nscale said ‌on Friday ​its revenue ​surged 1,252% in the first half of 2026, as the British cloud infrastructure provider pressed ahead with plans ‌for a U.S. initial public offering despite choppy market ⁠conditions.

The London-based company posted a net loss of $1.02 billion on revenue of $140.6 million ‌in the six months ended ‌June 30, compared with a net loss of $368.9 million on revenue of $10.4 million a year earlier, according to its IPO filing.

The ​fall IPO season has opened on a shaky note as rising bond yields and uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's monetary ⁠policy path weigh on investor sentiment.

Nscale, which plans to sell new shares, is targeting a ​multi-billion-dollar listing and a valuation of about $30 billion, CNBC reported.

The listing is set to test investor appetite ​for AI infrastructure stocks after calls from ‌CEOs of top AI labs earlier this month for slowdown in the development of the technology rattled ⁠markets.

AI infrastructure companies have been a dominant theme in the IPO market this year as surging demand for computing power and data-center capacity has ⁠pushed more companies to tap public markets.

The company's cloud platform provides infrastructure, including ​compute, power and data centers, as well as software for training and running AI models. It operates in 14 regions and has a power pipeline ‌of more than 10 gigawatts.

Nscale has grown rapidly since its 2024 launch, scaling to more than $103 billion ‌in total contracted value from $100 million.

Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and Morgan ⁠Stanley are the lead underwriters ‌for the offering. ​Nscale plans to list on the NYSE under the symbol "NSCL."
