Goldman Sachs Highlights Financing Challenges in AI Data Centre Expansion
Goldman Sachs reports rising concerns over financing risks in the expanding AI infrastructure sector, particularly data centres. Investors face challenges as high-yield bonds come under pressure and financing costs increase, prompting a shift from capacity expansion to capital efficiency.

In China, the focus is moving toward generating returns that exceed capital costs, with different data centre business models showing varied profitability prospects amid growing demand.
