AI stocks fell sharply last week as investors questioned the sector’s financing, investment returns and valuations, Fastea Capital said. AI infrastructure spending is expected to exceed $800 billion in 2026 and is increasingly being funded through bonds and private credit. US inflation reached 3.7%, and bonds issued by computing-power provider CoreWeave yielded nearly 15%.

Concerns also centered on lower OpenAI revenue estimates, Anthropic’s valuation ahead of its listing and DeepSeek’s less chip-intensive model.
