The simultaneous stumbles across equities, credit markets and IPO plans suggest investors are growing wary of the massive capital spending underpinning the AI buildout, according to Roundhill Investments CEO Dave Mazza, who said markets are indiscriminately punishing neocloud companies. If financing costs keep rising for these infrastructure providers, it could slow the pace of AI data center expansion that has driven much of the sector's growth.
