As of October 4, 2026, Nscale has not set an IPO date or a price range. The UK-based, Nvidia-backed AI cloud company filed a Form S-1 with the SEC on September 18, 2026 to list on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol NSCL, with the price range left blank, and SEC EDGAR shows no amendment to that filing as of October 4. Renaissance Capital wrote on October 2 that no US IPOs were scheduled for the week of October 5 and listed Nscale among the companies eligible to launch, naming TRex Bio and Iambic Therapeutics as the most likely. Bloomberg reported on August 21, 2026, citing people familiar with the matter, that Nscale is seeking to raise as much as $3 billion in the IPO, and repeated the figure on October 2, the day Nscale named former Meta executive Justin Osofsky chief operating officer. The S-1 reports first-half 2026 revenue of $140.6 million, up 1,252% from $10.4 million, with the largest customer at 52% of it. Segmara does not sell, broker or arrange Nscale shares and does not predict a pricing or listing date.

Key points

Where the IPO stands on October 4, 2026

Nscale filed a Form S-1 with the SEC on September 18, 2026 for a US initial public offering of its ordinary shares. The cover page names the New York Stock Exchange and the symbol NSCL but leaves the price range and the share count blank, and SEC EDGAR shows no amendment to the filing as of October 4, 2026. With no price range or share count on file, there is no offering size or IPO date to report.

Renaissance Capital wrote on October 2, 2026 that no US IPOs were scheduled for the week of October 5 and that a few companies were eligible to launch, including Nscale; it named TRex Bio and Iambic Therapeutics as the most likely candidates. Bloomberg reported on August 21, 2026, citing people familiar with the matter, that Nscale is seeking to raise as much as $3 billion in the IPO, and repeated the figure on September 25 and October 2. Neither is a launch announcement by Nscale.

What the S-1 discloses

The S-1 reports revenue of $140.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, against $10.4 million a year earlier, an increase of 1,252%. It says the largest customer accounted for 52% of first-half 2026 revenue and 73% of 2025 revenue.

The filing describes statements of work with Microsoft that provide for payments of up to about $43.8 billion through December 2033, and GPU services agreements signed with Anthropic on August 25, 2026 that provide for payments of up to about $44.6 billion. Those are contract ceilings stated in the S-1, not reported revenue.

Fortune reported on September 23, 2026 that the Financial Times traced a ByteDance connection to a 2025 Macquarie loan exhibit; ByteDance is not named among the S-1's customers.

Valuation reports, financing and management

On filing day, Reuters cited a CNBC report that Nscale is targeting a valuation of about $30 billion; Fortune put the target nearer $35 billion on September 23, 2026. Both are press reports, not terms set by Nscale.

TechCrunch reported on September 25, 2026 that Nscale secured $3.36 billion in convertible financing ahead of the IPO, led by Third Point, with $2.36 billion available immediately and $1 billion from Nvidia due in mid-November, and with the notes set to convert into equity at the IPO.

On October 2, 2026, Nscale appointed Justin Osofsky, previously Chief Partnerships Officer at Meta, as chief operating officer, reporting to founder and CEO Josh Payne.

Analytical lens

Search intent

Searches like 'When Will Nscale IPO? Nvidia-Backed Cloud Firm Files US S-1' are research questions: what a filing or a company statement confirms, what has only been reported, and what is still unknown.

What counts as a listing step

For an IPO, the primary record is a registration statement filed with the securities regulator of the listing market, such as an S-1 or F-1 on SEC EDGAR for a US listing. Funding rounds, valuations and secondary-market prices are context, not listing steps.

Segmara role

Has Nscale set an IPO date?

No. As of October 4, 2026, Nscale has not announced an IPO date or a price range. Its S-1 of September 18, 2026 names the NYSE and the symbol NSCL but leaves the price range blank, and SEC EDGAR shows no amendment. Renaissance Capital listed Nscale on October 2 as eligible to launch in the week of October 5, which is not a scheduled date.

How much is Nscale trying to raise?

The S-1 does not say yet: the price range and share count are blank. Bloomberg reported on August 21, 2026, citing people familiar with the matter, that Nscale is seeking to raise as much as $3 billion in the IPO, and repeated the figure on September 25 and October 2. Valuation figures in the press, a target of about $30 billion reported by CNBC and cited by Reuters on September 18 and nearer $35 billion in Fortune on September 23, are press reports, not terms set by Nscale.

How much did Nscale's revenue grow?

The S-1 reports revenue of $140.6 million for the first half of 2026, up 1,252% from $10.4 million a year earlier, and says the largest customer accounted for 52% of that revenue.

Can I buy Nscale shares before the IPO?

Not through Segmara. Segmara is a research site; it does not sell, broker or arrange Nscale shares before or after any IPO. The S-1 on SEC EDGAR is the primary record of the offering.
