·2026.11.07 02:02

Key point

Rising default protection costs for AI-linked firms like Nvidia and Broadcom signal increased financing risks for the data center buildout.

Details

  • CoreWeave's 2032 bond yield has climbed above 16%, with five-year credit default swaps (CDS) spiking above 1,289 basis points before easing to around 1,155.
  • Default protection costs have risen across the AI sector, with Nvidia CDS up 76%, Broadcom up 49%, and Amazon up 44% in the last month, despite their strong credit ratings.
  • Goldman Sachs forecasts $440 billion in hyperscaler debt issuance next year, while Bank of America estimates peak AI-related credit issuance will hit $685 billion in 2027 before falling to $531 billion in 2028.
  • Political uncertainty, including potential data center moratoriums in Texas, Ohio, and Georgia, may impact 45% of planned U.S. capacity and increase financing costs for neoclouds and hyperscalers.
