cnbc.com24d ago

Databricks raised $4B at $134B valuation in December 2025 (34% jump from August). Now added $1.8B in debt led by J.P. Morgan, pushing total borrowings to $7B+. Revenue run-rate exceeds $4.8B with 55%+ YoY growth. AI products hit $1B+ run-rate. CEO Ali Ghodsi says company has "a shot to be a trillion-dollar company." 2026 IPO expected on Nasdaq when conditions align.

Databricks taking on $7B+ in debt before IPO is a bold move. At $4.8B revenue and 55% growth, they are positioned well for enterprise AI/data workloads. The $134B valuation (28x revenue) is aggressive but defensible given their AI products hitting $1B run-rate. Watch for the Snowflake comparison post-IPO.
