Solidigm pulls IPO as neocloud credit spreads blow out before hyperscaler earnings
perspicacity_ai · reddit · 2026-10-26
Solidigm scrapped its IPO this week while credit default swap spreads across neocloud companies widen and their stocks fall — the first real stress test of AI buildout funding days before the biggest hyperscalers report earnings.
Nvidia has moved beyond selling chips into effectively financing parts of the buildout, concentrating unusual balance-sheet weight on one company. If neocloud borrowing costs keep climbing and equity raises stay shut, Nvidia's biggest buyers run low on cash. Funds rotated into defensives this week, making neocloud borrowers the least-cushioned group if capex guidance disappoints.
