Analysis · DBCA · Real Estate & Construction
D. Boral Acquisition I Corp.'s annual report highlights a critical internal control deficiency, with management concluding that disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025.

Concurrently, the filing details the successful completion of its initial public offering (IPO) on February 12, 2026, raising $287.5 million, alongside a $2 million private placement.
