Databricks is exploring a major funding round to raise about US $5 billion, which would value the company at approximately US $134 billion.
This valuation comes as Databricks expects around US $4.1 billion in sales in 2025, up from $3.8 billion previously forecast. The growth reflects surging demand for its data-analytics and AI platforms. However, the firm also warned investors that rising use of its AI tools has begun squeezing profit margins — gross margin has fallen from the planned 77 % to about 74 %.
Founded in 2013, Databricks helps companies aggregate and analyse massive datasets, build machine-learning models, and deploy AI applications. With over 20,000 customers globally — from energy firms to electric-vehicle makers — it has become a strong player in enterprise AI.
If the round closes, it would mark a significant milestone — cementing Databricks among the top-valued private tech firms worldwide. The fresh capital would likely fuel further AI product development, global expansion, and support the firm’s ambitions in the rapidly growing AI infrastructure market.
