Michael Burry has issued a warning that the rapid growth in AI data centers is fueled by complex financial arrangements like circular financing and off-balance-sheet vehicles, which obscure true leverage and risk, similar to the 2008 financial crisis. He highlights companies like NVIDIA, Oracle, and Nebius Group, noting that much of their future revenue is backed by these opaque financing methods rather than organic demand. This raises concerns about the sustainability of the AI investment boom, especially as data-center construction continues despite rising interest rates. Investors should watch how these financial obligations convert to cash flow and be cautious about the high valuations in AI infrastructure stocks.
