WSJ Markets reports that the funding cost for AI data center expansion is climbing, citing a new debt transaction from Meta as demand for AI-related infrastructure outpaces available capital.

According to the outlet, Meta’s data-center project was tied to a $12.5 billion offering that carried a higher interest rate than a similar deal from the prior year.

The article attributes the shift to the increasing number of AI companies bringing new debt to market, which is changing how investors price risk and returns for these projects.

As more AI firms pursue financing for data center buildouts, WSJ Markets says the market is starting to price in higher borrowing costs for the broader sector.
