Nvidia-Backed Lambda Seeks $4B in Pre-IPO Funding at $14.5B Valuation
Yahoo Finance ·
Nvidia-backed artificial intelligence cloud provider Lambda is negotiating to raise up to $4 billion in a pre-initial public offering funding round, valuing the firm at $14.5 billion before the new capital. Private equity firms Blackstone and Coatue Management are leading the financing effort. The company's order backlog dramatically expanded from $15 billion in June to $50 billion by September, heavily boosted by a $35 billion cloud computing agreement with AI developer Anthropic. To prepare for public markets, Lambda shifted co-founder Stephen Balaban to chief technology officer and appointed veteran executive Michel Combes as chief executive officer. Leadership is currently targeting a potential stock market debut in 2027, subject to market conditions and execution. Lambda utilizes Nvidia hardware exclusively and previously secured a $480 million Series D round in February 2025 involving Nvidia.
AI 시장 분석
Nvidia-backed cloud company Lambda is pursuing $4 billion in pre-IPO funding, targeting a valuation of $14.5 billion. Driven by a $35 billion contract with Anthropic and others, its order backlog surged from $15 billion in June to $50 billion in September. This indicates rapid growth in the AI infrastructure and neocloud sectors, providing positive momentum for the broader ecosystem.
상승 영향
- AI — Lambda successfully secured a massive $4 billion investment and signed a $35 billion contract with Anthropic, proving explosive growth in AI infrastructure and cloud demand.
- Semiconductors — As Lambda exclusively adopts Nvidia hardware and server architecture, and the neocloud ecosystem expands, strong demand for Nvidia chips will continue.
DYAX 전담 분석
Lambda raising $4 billion led by Blackstone and Coatow Management at a $14.5 billion valuation proves that demand for AI computing infrastructure remains robust. In particular, the exclusive supply structure for Nvidia GPU-based hardware and large-scale contracts with major clients like Anthropic are factors that enhance the earnings visibility of the related value chain.
Going forward, the success of the 2027 IPO and the actual conversion rate of the backlog into revenue will be key indicators. Caution is required as there is a risk of valuation adjustments if AI computing demand slows down.
