South Korea's Elice Shares Drop 28% in Market Debut Amid AI Sector Caution
South Korean AI services firm Elice Group saw its shares fall 28% on debut at the Kosdaq market, reflecting investor caution amid broader concerns over AI sector valuations and rising borrowing costs. The company raised about 201 billion won ($150 million) in its IPO, which was heavily oversubscribed, with plans to invest in portable modular data centers. Despite strong first-half revenue growth and profitability, market sentiment remains uncertain following other postponed data center IPOs globally.
