AI overview

On October 22, 2026, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said at the GTC conference in Berlin that market demand for "neocloud" computing power is extremely strong, but a shortage of capital is constraining the industry's growth, and the missing link is the working capital needed to drive enterprise growth. On the same day, he told CNBC that demand from neocloud companies is "off the charts" and their capabilities "extraordinary," but they lack the working capital to drive growth, and capital demand far exceeds supply. He also noted that Europe's energy supply is tight, and how limited energy is allocated to new cloud service providers such as Nebius and Mistral is crucial to their development, and said all of Europe needs more new cloud service providers. NVIDIA has pledged to invest nearly $10 billion in European companies, universities and research institutions. There is currently no subsequent development with evidence.

    AI infrastructure under pressure: neocloud stocks plunge, credit risk rises, Solidigm withdraws IPO

    AI infrastructure-related trades have experienced a turbulent week. Neocloud companies CoreWeave, Nebius and IREN all fell more than 30% this month. CoreWeave's CDS spread widened to more than 11%, and yields on its 2031 and 2032 unsecured bonds exceeded 15%. SK Hynix withdrew the U.S. IPO of its subsidiary Solidigm, citing market volatility. Meta's third-quarter free cash flow was negative by more than $2 billion, and it raised the lower bound of its full-year capital expenditure from $130 billion to $135 billion. Gartner expects that by 2030, 80% of neocloud companies will cease operations or be acquired, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said demand for neoclouds far exceeds capital supply.
