Sims Shares Fall 7% Amid AI Selloff; Data Center Outlook Softens
What happened
Sims shares fell more than 7% on November 6, 2026, amid a global selloff in technology and artificial intelligence stocks. The company, a metals recycler, has built a business around data center hardware. While Sims Lifecycle Services posted 91% growth in repurposed units, the company expects its EBIT for the first half of fiscal 2027 to be between A$75 million and A$90 million due to lower volumes of high-speed DDR4 memory.

Why it matters
The stock decline was driven by the broader AI selloff. Sims has increasingly tied its growth to AI infrastructure. Underlying EBIT surged 170% to A$468 million, led by Sims Lifecycle Services growth and strong non-ferrous pricing.
