Shein to pay up to $3.5 billion to some existing investors after valuation plunge
Shein, the Chinese fast-fashion e-commerce giant that has begun the process for an initial public offering in Hong Kong, will pay up to $3.5 billion in cash and stock to some existing investors, nearly double its IPO fundraising target, according to a prospectus published on the 24th. The recipients include entities linked to Boyu Capital, Tiger Global, General Atlantic, Thrive Capital, Mubadala, and Brookfield. These investors hold shares from Shein's late-stage funding rounds and were granted protection clauses that are triggered if the IPO is carried out at a level below the prices paid in previous funding rounds. Shein plans to set its offer price on the 31st and list on September 1, with an indicative range of HK$47.60 to HK$49.50 per share. It will sell about 280 million shares and aims to raise HK$13.86 billion, or $1.77 billion, at the top of the range. At the top of the indicative range, the valuation would be close to $27 billion, below the $60.5 billion from the 2022 Series Pre-D round, the $98.2 billion from the Series D round, and the $64 billion from the 2023 Series D+ round. Shein said that if the IPO price is set at the low end of the indicative range, it may pay up to $2.2 billion in cash under conversion adjustment protection clauses, and will also issue an additional 19.6 million shares at no cost. Separately, it agreed to make payments of about $1.33 billion to holders of Series Pre-D, D, and D+ preferred shares. Of this, about $1.1 billion will be paid in three instalments, plus an estimated $230.4 million accrued by the completion of the IPO, to be paid within 15 business days after the IPO closes. These payments will be funded from its own resources, and holders of Series A, B, C, and C+ preferred shares are not eligible.
Brookfield Posts Record Fundraising and Pivots to AI and Nuclear Power
Brookfield reported distributable earnings before realizations of $1.4 billion for the second quarter, up 15% year over year, while management detailed a $100 billion Kentucky AI data center project and a nuclear buildout. CEO Bruce Flatt described a partnership with the US Department of Energy to build an AI campus on federally owned land, and the DOE committed a further $17.5 billion to Brookfield and its utility partners for Westinghouse's reactor pipeline, which is now under construction on 14 reactors with visibility into 40 more and another 100 beyond that. Fundraising hit a record $77 billion, pushing fee-bearing capital up 19% to $672 billion and fee-related earnings up 20% from a year earlier. The board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.07 per share, while the company spent roughly $580 million on buybacks year to date at an average price of $42.

Brookfield Deepens Insurance and AI Infrastructure Reach
Brookfield Corporation has expanded its global insurance footprint through recently completed acquisitions that add scale to its life and annuity operations, and has announced a major partnership with NVIDIA and other financial institutions to finance large AI infrastructure projects worldwide. The acquisitions of Oaktree and Just Group expand access to insurance float and long-duration liabilities that can be invested into real assets and private credit where Brookfield already has operating expertise. The NVIDIA partnership positions Brookfield as a key capital provider to large-scale AI data center and compute projects, with plans to mobilize part of over US$500 billion of third-party capital linked to its infrastructure and private credit franchises. Brookfield is a CA$143.4 billion multi-asset manager running large platforms across real estate, infrastructure, renewable power and private equity. Investors will watch for specific fee-bearing capital raised and deployed into AI infrastructure and insurance-backed strategies in upcoming quarterly results, along with the performance of the US$642.83 million buyback program.
Brookfield Corporation reported a 15% increase in distributable earnings before realizations for the second quarter of 2026, driven by record fundraising of $98 billion and $100 billion in capital deployment. Management highlighted the company's integrated scale across real estate, energy, infrastructure, and credit as a key advantage in addressing AI infrastructure demand, with a strategic position in the nuclear sector through Westinghouse and a $6 trillion industry build-out. The acquisition of Just Group in the U.K. and the completion of the Oaktree merger have expanded the global credit and insurance platform, while core real estate portfolios maintained 95% occupancy and rents 19% above expiring levels. The company anticipates a record fundraising year, with its seventh private equity and sixth infrastructure flagship funds on track to be the largest in their series, and the Wealth Solutions business targeting over $300 billion of insurance assets by the end of the decade. Management also addressed a $100 billion partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy to build an AI campus in Kentucky and a memorandum of understanding with NVIDIA to mobilize $500 billion to finance GPUs.
Nvidia signs MOUs with six Wall Street firms to mobilize over $500 billion for AI infrastructure
Nvidia announced memoranda of understanding with Apollo, BlackRock, Blackstone, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to mobilize over $500 billion in third-party capital for AI infrastructure. The company retains an option to backstop up to roughly 25% of the financing, or about $125 billion, creating correlated risk if underlying AI projects underperform. The $500 billion figure represents non-binding MOUs and is a multiyear target, not committed capital. A key structural risk is the mismatch between data center GPUs, which become obsolete in three to five years, and infrastructure-style lending tenors that typically match assets with 30- to 50-year useful lives. Nvidia's stock declined about 3% following the announcement.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang calls chips an investable asset class after $500B AI financing push
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang declared that technology chips have become an investable asset class as the company signed memorandums of understanding with Apollo Global Management, Blackstone, BlackRock, Brookfield, Goldman Sachs, and KKR to establish the first compute financing platforms of their kind at a global scale. The partnerships aim to mobilize more than $500 billion of third-party capital over time to finance the buildout of AI infrastructure. Huang told CNBC that Nvidia’s chips are now revenue-generating, long-lived, fungible, and flexible assets that can attract institutional capital, comparing AI compute capacity to infrastructure like electricity or the internet.

Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA, stated that NVIDIA compute is an investable asset providing the lowest token cost, highest revenue and longest life, supported by a deep global ecosystem of developers and offtakers. The partnerships remain subject to execution of final agreements.

Brookfield's price-to-earnings ratio stands at 86.3 times, well above the Canadian Capital Markets industry average of 9.2 times and the peer average of 18.6 times.

Naver Shares Surge Over 10% as Nvidia Plans 1 Billion Dollar Investment
Shares of South Korean internet giant Naver surged more than 10 percent on the 27th. The jump came after US chipmaker Nvidia announced it would acquire 1 billion dollars worth of new Naver shares. On the 24th, the two companies and investment firm Brookfield unveiled a plan to invest up to 10 billion dollars to expand Naver's AI data center in South Korea. As part of the deal, Naver will allot 7.2 million new shares to Nvidia at 204,500 won per share. Brookfield will provide up to 9 billion dollars as an equity partner for the project. With this investment, Nvidia is expected to hold a 4.5 percent stake in Naver, becoming one of its major shareholders. The data center will be built within Naver's GAK data center in Sejong City, South Korea, and will adopt Nvidia's chip platforms Vera Rubin and Blackwell.

Brookfield-backed Csquare prices IPO at $21 per share to raise $1.05 billion
Csquare, a data center platform backed by Brookfield, priced its initial public offering at $21.00 per share, aiming to raise approximately $1.05 billion. The company is offering 50 million shares of common stock, with trading expected to begin on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol CSQR on July 16. Underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 7.5 million shares, which would increase gross proceeds to about $1.2075 billion. Csquare intends to use the net proceeds to repay a portion of its outstanding debt and cover offering expenses. Founded in 2019, the company owns and operates 64 data center sites across 21 metropolitan markets in North America and the UK, providing co-location and connectivity services.
Brookfield Stock Looks Stretched on Fresh AI Data Center Expansion
Brookfield stock has returned around 117.7% over the past three years but now screens as expensive on broader valuation checks, trading at a price-to-earnings ratio of about 83.1 times. That multiple is far above the Capital Markets industry average of roughly 9.5 times and the peer average of around 40.7 times. The company's push into AI-focused infrastructure, including an expanded Bloom Energy partnership and a potential NVIDIA platform, supports expectations for long-term cash generation, but the scale of planned capital deployment adds execution and capital allocation risk. With a value score of just 1 out of 6, Brookfield does not appear to be a clear bargain at its recent price of US$61.57. The key question is whether the current market price leaves enough valuation upside to compensate for the risks around its large-scale AI and infrastructure ambitions.
Brookfield and Bloom Energy expand fuel cell partnership to US$25 billion
Brookfield and Bloom Energy have expanded their clean energy partnership, raising the targeted investment from US$5 billion to US$25 billion to deploy onsite fuel cells across Brookfield's global AI data centre platform, beginning with an initial European site. The expansion is backed by Brookfield's planned US$100 billion AI Infrastructure Fund and positions fuel cell technology as a core power solution for its growing AI factory footprint worldwide. The deal reinforces AI infrastructure as a near-term catalyst for Brookfield, potentially sharpening the story around fee-bearing capital and deployment opportunities.
Brookfield Corporation Bullish Thesis Highlights AI Infrastructure and Capital Recycling
A bullish thesis on Brookfield Corporation posted on r/ValueInvesting emphasizes the company's exposure to AI infrastructure and disciplined capital recycling. Brookfield Corporation is a global alternative asset manager with operations across infrastructure, renewable power, commercial real estate, insurance, and private equity.

Management highlights a potential $7 trillion opportunity across data centers and clean energy systems, with strategic partnerships including a potential $100 billion AI infrastructure platform with NVIDIA. The company maintains approximately $188 billion in deployable capital, and management's intrinsic value estimate is near $68 per share, with the stock trading at $44.44 as of June 18th.
Brookfield Quietly Builds a Private Credit Powerhouse
Brookfield Corporation has quietly built a leading private credit platform with $250 billion in assets under management and $1.5 billion in annual fee-based income. CEO Bruce Flatt emphasized that the firm focuses on disciplined underwriting, downside protection, and risk-adjusted returns, with no material exposure to software. Brookfield built its platform through partnerships, starting with a 62% stake in Oaktree in 2019 and later acquiring the remainder, along with investments in Castlelake and Angel Oak. The company aims to grow credit assets to $640 billion by 2030. Despite shares falling more than 10% from their 52-week high, the sell-off may present a buying opportunity.
Brookfield Series 24 Preference Shares Conversion Fails to Meet Threshold
Brookfield Corporation announced that the conversion of its Series 24 Preference Shares into Series 25 Shares will not proceed after only 1,400 shares were tendered, falling short of the required one million shares.
