Short sellers in AI data center stocks earned about $6 billion in paper profits in October as shares of companies like CoreWeave and Nebius Group fell sharply. Despite strong demand for AI computing, these companies face a massive $76 billion funding gap and bond yields near 15%, signaling significant financial stress. New financing efforts, such as Nebius's $3.5 billion loan, have not calmed investor concerns, and the risk of a short squeeze remains if conditions change. Upcoming quarterly reports will be critical to watch for signs of financial stability or further decline.
