Michael Rubiera, founder and CEO of Accelevation Holdings, appeared on CNBC’s "Squawk on the Street" on September 30, 2026, ahead of the company’s Nasdaq debut under the ticker ACV. During the interview, Rubiera discussed the company’s IPO, which raised $540 million by selling 30 million shares at $18, below the initial target range of $20 to $24. He described the timing as appropriate despite a "rough" market, citing the company’s growth and its focus on custom-designed solutions for customers. Rubiera highlighted a shift in the company’s operations, noting that Accelevation now manufactures complete data halls in its facilities and ships them to customers, a transition from traditional "stick-built" field assembly. He stated this approach reduces time to compute and claimed an over 80% time savings in installation. Addressing potential industry headwinds, Rubiera said the company has not seen a slowdown, attributing resilience to vertical integration developed since its January 2021 launch during supply chain disruptions. He noted that delays, when they occur, typically involve power availability or medium-voltage gear in "gray space" projects, but asserted the company generally executes projects within required timelines.
