JPMorgan Leads on $14B Tenneco IPO and $13B Meta AI Financing
JPMorgan is among lead banks for Tenneco’s potential $14 billion IPO and co-heading a $13 billion financing for Meta’s El Paso AI data center, reinforcing its pivotal role in mega-deals. Its strategist Mislav Matejka advises investors to buy market dips on expected resilient earnings and constructive growth policy.
1. Tenneco IPO Mandate
JPMorgan has been appointed alongside Bank of America, Barclays and Citigroup to lead Apollo Global Management’s potential $14 billion Tenneco initial public offering. The Northville-based auto parts manufacturer is considering a full or partial float after projecting over $2 billion in EBITDA this year, roughly double its pre-acquisition level.
2. Meta El Paso Financing
JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley are spearheading a potential $13 billion financing package for Meta’s El Paso AI-focused data center, with most funding via debt and a smaller equity component. The project follows last year’s $27 billion debt raise for a Louisiana site and marks another mega-deal in tech infrastructure financing.
3. Market Outlook Call
JPMorgan strategist Mislav Matejka warns that narrow market breadth masks underlying fragility but sees supportive pillars in strong earnings growth and constructive policy. He recommends using market weakness to add positions over three-, six- and 12-month horizons, with a preference for international and emerging markets.
