Morgan Stanley Says Weaker AI Firms May Turn to Secured Debt

Morgan Stanley strategists Vishwanath Tirupattur and Vishwas Patkar said higher borrowing costs may widen the financing gap in AI infrastructure, leaving the largest hyperscalers better positioned than lower-rated companies to maintain investment. The four largest hyperscalers have the financial strength to absorb higher funding costs and sustain their plans, the strategists said. Lower-rated AI companies, by contrast, may have to constrain capital spending as credit becomes harder to access. The financing shift could change how weaker companies borrow.
