Melius Research initiated a wave of price target cuts across major semiconductor names, lowering NVIDIA to $315, Broadcom to $450, and Marvell to $300. These cuts coincide with reports that Nvidia is guaranteeing up to $105 billion in data-center leases, suggesting that AI infrastructure spending is shifting from a pure growth narrative to a credit-risk trade. Investors are increasingly concerned about the monetization timeline for massive capex outlays. Major technology firms are aggressively tapping debt markets, with Oracle filing for a $10 billion mixed shelf offering, Google completing a $3.9 billion euro bond sale, and SAIC proposing $400 million in senior notes. This surge in issuance, occurring alongside reports of junk bond market cracks, suggests that while credit spreads are widening, mega-cap tech companies retain strong access to capital, albeit at higher interest rates.
