Large US Grid Lacks Capacity for New Data Centers, Watchdog Says
'There is simply no new capacity to meet new loads,' said Joe Bowring, president of Monitoring Analytics, which is the independent watchdog for PJM Interconnection, the grid that extends from Washington to Chicago. 'The solution is to make sure that people who want to build data centers are serious enough about it to bring their own generation.'

Advent-backed NIQ raises $1.05 billion in US IPO
(Reuters) -Consumer insights company NIQ Global [NIQ.N], backed by investment firms Advent International and KKR, said on Tuesday it had raised $1.05 billion in its initial public offering in the United States. About 50 million shares were priced at $21 each in the IPO, valuing NIQ at $6.35 billion. The move sets the stage for the company's debut on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, amid a wave of recent IPOs in a market that is showing signs of revival after a prolonged slowdown. NIQ, which provides insights into consumer shopping behavior to help brands and retailers refine their products and strategies, has about 23,000 clients, including Coca-Cola , Nestlé and Sony. The Chicago, Illinois-based company is led by Jim Peck, the former CEO of credit information firm TransUnion. For the three months ended March 31, NIQ reported revenue of $965.9 million, a slight increase from the prior year. Its net loss attributable to the company narrowed to $73.7 million, compared to $173.9 million a year earlier. Proceeds from the IPO will be used to repay some debt and for general corporate purposes, NIQ said. The company's competitors include Circana and YouGov. BofA Securities and UBS Investment Bank are among the underwriters for the IPO. The listing comes more than four years after NIQ was spun off from Nielsen Holdings.

Morgan Stanley's client-screening faces deeper FINRA probe, WSJ reports
(Reuters) -The U.S. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is investigating Morgan Stanley over how the firm screened clients for money-laundering risks, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The probe examines client vetting, risk rankings and related practices across the Wall Street bank's wealth-management and trading operations from October 2021 through September 2024, the report said. FINRA, a non-governmental self-regulatory organisation that oversees U.S. broker-dealers under federal law, is seeking information on U.S. and international clients across Morgan Stanley's wealth unit, including E*Trade, and its institutional securities division, according to the Journal. The regulator has also requested organisational charts, reporting lines and details on the firm's client risk-scoring tool, the report added. Some employees raised concerns that the initial data sent to FINRA was incomplete or inaccurate, prompting the bank to provide additional information after the regulator flagged gaps, the Journal said. A Morgan Stanley spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal the bank has made significant investments in its anti-money-laundering and client-vetting programmes, adding that such regulatory reviews are not unique to the bank and do not indicate problems with its business or controls. Reuters could not independently verify the report. FINRA declined to comment, while Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to a request for comment. FINRA fined Morgan Stanley $10 million in December 2018 for anti-money laundering compliance failures over a five-year period.
