Australia's market watchdog is gathering information about Firmus Grid Ltd.'s failed initial public offering, though it has not yet opened an official probe. ASIC Head of Enforcement Chris Savundra stated there isn't a formal investigation underway, but the agency is undertaking enquiries in the usual course. ASIC CEO Scott Gregson indicated the regulator may open a formal investigation to evaluate whether investors were misled during the marketing for what was set to become one of Australia's largest-ever IPOs.
The failed listing has emerged as a key test of investor sentiment for data centers, with listed peers struggling since the deal's collapse. Senator Dave Sharma has called on ASIC to investigate, citing concerns about the accuracy of representations and adequacy of disclosures.
