Holtec International menangguhkan IPO plan-nya sebesar 900 juta dolar karena volatilitas pasar di sektor AI. Pendiri Kris Singh mengutip 'badai sempurna' dari kekhawatiran ekonomi dan penurunan tajam sektor, noting bahwa Holtec dianggap terkait dengan pusat data AI, meskipikan menyediakan tenaga nuklir. Perusahaan aims to transform from a nuclear components supplier into a reactor designer and operator.

Singh menyatakan IPO could resume within three to six months depending on market conditions. Holtec was seeking to raise $900 million by selling 50 million shares priced between $15 and $18, valuing the company at approximately $10 billion. The suspension impacts the broader US nuclear sector, which aims to raise tens of billions for new reactor construction to power AI infrastructure.

Westinghouse, planning up to 10 large-scale reactors, also recently filed for a US listing. Holtec specializes in nuclear waste containers and is restarting a mothballed plant in Michigan while developing next-generation small modular reactors. Singh confirmed Holtec has no liquidity issues and is discussing financing with marquee US companies.
