If lending tightens, neoclouds suffer but hyperscalers may win on scarce compute

Analysis of how tighter credit would hit the AI buildout: neoclouds reliant on external capital could get in trouble and chip demand slows short-term as capital becomes the bottleneck. But hyperscalers ($AMZN, $MSFT, $GOOGL) are less exposed — a slower buildout race eases CapEx pressure and competitive threat, while scarcer data center capacity could push compute prices up.
