ESDS Surges 300% Post-IPO as India's AI Data-Center Scarcity Fuels Demand
SHAZ has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $16.55.
Summary
ESDS Software Solution Ltd. has surged over 300% since its Sept. 4 trading debut, making it one of India's best-performing new listings. The rally is driven by scarcity of listed AI infrastructure plays in India's $5 trillion equity market, with investors using ESDS as a proxy for the data-center theme. Revenue is projected to more than quadruple to nearly 23 billion rupees in FY27, supported by a $1.25 billion cloud-capacity agreement with SharonAI Holdings involving 8,000 GPUs. The IPO drew bids for 136 times the shares on offer, reflecting intense demand. The company reports quarterly earnings on Thursday, which could further validate the growth story. NVIDIA is mentioned as a supplier of AI chips to Yotta Data Services, a peer, but the primary impact is on ESDS.
