Energy IPOs surge as investors hunt for ways to play AI boom.

Energy IPOs surge as investors hunt for ways to play AI boom. Companies coming to market are raising money at fastest pace this century. Energy companies are raising money at IPO at their fastest pace this century, taking advantage of investors' hunt for new ways to bet on the boom in power-intensive AI data centers. Initial public offerings for energy firms raised $12.6 billion in the first half of this year, according to data firm Dealogic. That marks the highest half-year level since the peak of the dotcom bubble in late 1999 and the highest first-half figure on record. It is well above 2025's full-year total of $4.3 billion. The surge in fundraising comes as access to the vast amounts of energy needed to run data centers emerges as a bottleneck in a multi-trillion-dollar AI investment boom. "Investors started by buying AI-linked names like Nvidia. Then they said, 'hold on, every chip needs energy to power it,'" said RBC clean energy analyst Chris Dendrinos. "That's put a huge tailwind behind these companies." A typical AI-focused data center uses around 876,000 megawatt hours per year, roughly equivalent to the household electricity usage of Glasgow or Salt Lake City. US electricity demand is projected to increase 39 percent between 2026 and 2035, according to consultancy ICF, in large part due to ballooning demand from data centers. Investors who have made huge gains betting on the chip stocks that have recently propelled US equity markets to a series of record highs are slowly shifting into the so-called "picks and shovels" companies expected to lay the infrastructure for the AI boom, analysts say. "Power-capacity expansion, US reshoring, [and] AI-related infrastructure investment... remain our central strategic allocations," said Manish Kabra, head of US equity strategy at Société Générale. Exchange traded fund-provider GMO this week launched a "power infrastructure ETF" to capture the returns of stocks linked to "power generation, grid, and electrification infrastructure." Energy group Standard Nuclear is expected to go public in the US later in July.

GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund Wins 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Award; Access Expanded for U.S. Advisors

GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund wins 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Award; access expanded for U.S. Advisors. BOSTON-(BUSINESS WIRE)-GMO, a global investment manager known for its long-term, valuation-oriented strategies, today announced that the GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund received a 2026 LSEG Lipper Fund Award in the Emerging Markets Hard Currency Debt category. The award recognizes the fund's three-year performance, which reflects the team's history of delivering top-decile peer performance going back to the fund's 1994 inception. "We are grateful for this recognition of our deeply experienced team, as well as our genuinely differentiated approach to the asset class, which remains as relevant today as when it was founded over 30 years ago," said Tina Vandersteel, lead portfolio manager for GMO's emerging debt strategies. "This award is a reflection of our constant effort to turn out singles and doubles through arbitrage-focused security selection while keeping an eye out for triples and home runs that can come around sovereign distress and work out." The GMO Emerging Country Debt Fund seeks to add value primarily through security selection within a country's sovereign, quasi sovereign corporate, and occasional opportunistic local debt markets exposures, and secondarily through active country positioning. The fund is benchmarked to the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index. Over its history, the strategy has generated attractive long-term excess returns versus the benchmark while offering diversification benefits within multi-asset portfolios. GMO has recently expanded access to its Emerging Country Debt capabilities with the launch of the GMO Emerging Country Debt Shares Fund (GMAJX), which is designed specifically for U.S. intermediary and wealth platforms and provides streamlined operational access to the underlying Emerging Country Debt Fund. The new vehicle allows wealth platforms to offer GMO's ECD strategy to their advisor and RIA clients. "The combination of compelling long-term beta, strong alpha potential, and diversification benefits makes emerging market debt a powerful complement to traditional fixed income allocations. We believe many investors can benefit from a dedicated, actively managed allocation to this asset class, and we are pleased that a wider range of advisors and their clients can now access this approach through our new U.S. vehicle," said Alex Bark, Head of Global Client Relations at GMO. Global investment manager GMO, established in 1977, brings together focused expertise within its investment teams, industry-leading research, and client solutions and service to advance clients' goals. Privately owned and renowned for conviction in a valuation-based, long-term investment philosophy, GMO serves sophisticated institutions, financial intermediaries, and families, and managed $78.2 billion as of December 31, 2025. The firm is headquartered in Boston, with offices in London, Sydney, Amsterdam, Singapore, and Tokyo (representative office).
