Wall Street investors are increasingly questioning the risks tied to data centre financing as borrowing and infrastructure spending rise.

The debate has grown as lenders and investors assess the credit quality of companies linked to data centre expansion.

Analysts said rising debt levels and large capital spending commitments could increase credit risks in parts of the sector.

Investors are watching whether rapid AI and cloud infrastructure growth could lead to weaker returns for some projects.

Analysts said future credit conditions will depend on interest rates, data centre demand and financing costs.

Data centres have attracted significant investment as technology companies expand AI computing capacity.
