AI Development Slowdown Could Test Investor Bets on the Data Centre Boom: Report
A slowdown in model development could cut demand for AI infrastructure and push new debt deals to higher rates, analysts said.
- On Monday, AI infrastructure stocks declined sharply, with GE Vernova dropping almost 9%, Caterpillar sinking more than 4%, Vertiv falling close to 8%, and Oracle slipping almost 4%, according to CNBC.
- Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei proposed slowing frontier model development over the weekend, triggering the market reaction. Amodei wrote that a slowdown in AI development doesn't mean "halting model training or technical progress."
- Growth in the U.S. data center boom depends on two companies—Anthropic and OpenAI—while server makers Dell and Hewlett Packard Enterprise rely on sustained demand for their infrastructure.
- Experts say "fixed income investors are demanding more reward," with new debt deals announced this fall likely priced at significantly higher rates than previous issuances.
- Despite rising costs, a rush to secure AI debt is expected over the next six weeks. Amazon raised nearly $6 billion last week, following Alphabet's sale of about $10 billion in European bonds in May.
