Cardinal Infrastructure Group (CDNL) surged 9.52% during intraday trading on Wednesday as the stock made its highly anticipated trading debut following a successful initial public offering (IPO). The company priced its IPO at $21 per share, raising $241.5 million, with demand exceeding available supply.
The IPO, which was oversubscribed, valued Cardinal at approximately $769 million. The Raleigh-based infrastructure services provider reported strong financials, with $197 million in net profit for the first nine months of 2025, up from $170 million year-over-year. The oversubscription and midpoint pricing reflect robust investor confidence in the company's growth prospects.
CEO Jeremy Spivey and other executives retain significant voting power post-IPO, further underscoring their commitment to the company's long-term success. The stock's strong debut aligns with a broader rebound in the U.S. IPO market this year.
