SB Energy, the SoftBank-backed energy and data center company, will begin formal investor marketing for its IPO once US regulators complete their review of the filing.

The company is waiting for the Securities and Exchange Commission to finish its examination before launching the roadshow phase, according to people with knowledge of the plan. SB Energy operates in renewable energy and has expanded into data center construction, capitalizing on surging demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company is a subsidiary of SoftBank Group Corp., the Japanese conglomerate led by Masayoshi Son. The timing of the IPO marketing depends on the SEC's review process, which can take several weeks to months. Once cleared, SB Energy will present its investment case to institutional investors to gauge demand and establish a price range for the offering. The move reflects growing investor appetite for AI infrastructure plays and renewable energy assets. Multiple data center operators have pursued or completed IPOs in recent years amid the AI boom.
