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.

SK Hynix pauses Solidigm's IPO and pre-IPO financing evaluation
SK Hynix has paused its evaluation of a pre-IPO funding round and a US IPO for Solidigm, citing market volatility and a broad pullback in semiconductor stocks. SK Hynix said Solidigm's existing fab capacity can hardly meet AI-driven demand, and a new US wafer fab is still needed. SK Hynix's stock price has fallen about 30% this quarter, more than halving from its June high, while just 3 months ago the company raised $26.51 billion by issuing new shares to US investors on Nasdaq.
