Short sellers reportedly generated a paper profit of about $15.5bn after the company's shares fell below their initial offer price just weeks after its listing.Firmus is coming to market at a time when investors are debating whether spending on AI infrastructure can continue at its current pace. Concerns have been heightened by calls from senior technology executives, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, for greater coordination around the development of frontier AI systems.The debate creates an unusually wide range of potential outcomes for newly listed companies exposed to the AI investment cycle, particularly those whose valuations incorporate expectations of sustained infrastructure growth.
