Csquare Inc., a data center company backed by Brookfield Corp., filed to raise up to $1.35 billion through an initial public offering. The company plans to sell 50 million shares priced between $23 and $27 each.

The IPO pricing would value Csquare at up to $4.18 billion. The data center operator joins a crowded market of infrastructure companies seeking capital as demand for computing facilities surges amid artificial intelligence expansion. Brookfield, a major infrastructure investor, has positioned itself heavily in the data center sector as hyperscalers and cloud providers build out capacity. The IPO timeline remains subject to market conditions and regulatory approval. Data center operators have attracted significant investor interest in recent years. Companies in the space benefit from long-term contracts with tech giants and stable, recurring revenue models. However, they face competitive pressures and the need for substantial capital investment to maintain and expand facilities. Csquare's offering reflects confidence in the sector's fundamentals, though broader market volatility could influence final pricing and demand.
