Investors on Wall Street Grow Doubtful of Rapid Data-Center Expansion
Wall Street investors are increasingly skeptical about the data-center boom that was expected to fuel a wave of AI-related IPOs.

Recent market sentiment, however, shows a shift toward caution, with analysts questioning whether the rapid expansion is sustainable. This growing doubt reflects broader concerns over AI hype and the profitability of the supporting infrastructure.
