AI companies face investor angst over rising sector debt

The concern is that debt buildup in AI supply chains and data-center buildouts has weighed on sentiment.

Investor anxiety has returned to AI stocks as attention shifts to the amount of debt accumulating across the sector, according to Yahoo Finance.
