June 22 (Reuters) - Digital infrastructure company ⁠ITG is targeting a valuation of up to $2.67 billion in ⁠its U.S. market debut, joining a string of issuers rushing to ‌capitalize on AI-driven demand and benefit from a busy summer IPO window.

The post-SpaceX IPO market has remained busy as companies rush to seize the strong conditions for new listings before ​the traditional summer lull kicks in.

The Hendersonville, Tennessee-based ⁠company is seeking up to $429.3 ⁠million by offering 19.5 million shares priced between $19 and $22 apiece, it said ⁠on ‌Monday.

Uber-backed electric-bike startup Lime and silver miner Sinda also launched their U.S. initial public offering roadshows on Monday.

Founded in 2013, ITG provides ⁠outsourced services to broadband operators, fiber providers, wireless carriers, ​data center operators ‌and utilities.

It supports the construction and maintenance of broadband networks across ⁠49 states in ​the United States, competing with peers Dycom Industries, MasTec, Primoris Services and Quanta Services.

Demand for its services has grown rapidly as high-speed broadband connectivity has become an ⁠essential utility and the backbone of modern ​life, driving up data consumption.

The rapid data center expansion to support AI workloads is also serving as a catalyst for high-bandwidth connectivity and capacity.

ITG's customer base ⁠is heavily concentrated, with Comcast and Charter Communications accounting for 60% of the company's revenue last year.

The firm ended 2025 with a $2.9 billion backlog, of which $1.3 billion is expected to be completed within the next fiscal year.

Investment ​firm Oaktree Capital Management bought ITG in 2021, ⁠in partnership with the firm's management.

Under Oaktree's ownership, ITG has expanded its business ​through 12 acquisitions.

Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, UBS Investment Bank, and ‌Stifel are among the joint bookrunners. ​ITG will list on the Nasdaq under the symbol "ITG".
