South Korean data-center company Elice Inc. launched its IPO on the Kosdaq market, raising about 201 billion won ($151 million) with shares priced at 90,500 won each, marking the exchange's largest IPO this year. Despite strong retail investor interest and oversubscription by over 400 times, the stock debuted with a 33% discount but rebounded 30% the following day. Elice highlighted significant revenue growth and profitability, planning to use IPO proceeds for modular data centers and infrastructure development amid global concerns over AI spending and market volatility.
