Viewpoint: OpenAI's Potential IPO Risk Could Trigger Infrastructure Stock Domino Effect

1 hours ago

June 18: Gary Marcus, an MIT cognitive science PhD and AI researcher, warned that OpenAI’s potential IPO and ongoing cash burn issues pose risks to tech stocks heavily reliant on AI computing power, delivering a bearish take on the currently red-hot AI infrastructure sector. Marcus notes that valuations for companies including Nvidia, Oracle, and CoreWeave are partially tied to expectations that OpenAI will continue its large-scale chip procurement and data center buildouts. If OpenAI’s IPO process encounters difficulties, its valuations come under pressure, or the company cuts spending amid price wars, these suppliers could face downward revisions to their revenue forecasts. OpenAI submitted a confidential S-1 filing this month to lay the groundwork for a possible IPO. Meanwhile, the market is closely monitoring three key factors: OpenAI’s steep computing costs, its competition with Anthropic, and whether enterprise clients will reduce their usage due to the high costs of implementing AI tools. Marcus’s concerns extend beyond individual stocks. He cautioned that if there is a strong correlation between AI data center financing, cloud computing contracts, and OpenAI’s demand, a contraction in the company’s core spending could prompt lenders to reassess the credit quality of AI-related assets.

Goldman Sachs: If Inflation Does Not Cool, Fed Likely to Hike Rates as Early as September

June 18 — Goldman Sachs Group Vice Chairman and former Dallas Federal Reserve President Robert Kaplan is flagging that if inflation stays red-hot, the U.S. Federal Reserve might need to lift interest rates as early as September. In prepared comments, Kaplan noted that if inflation data between now and September fails to show meaningful cooling, “it would be wise for the Fed to act in September or this fall — that would be the more prudent course.” The remarks come on the heels of Fed Chair Jerome Powell signaling the central bank’s laser focus on taming inflation, which has shifted market sentiment sharply hawkish. Traders dumped short-term U.S. government bonds, pushing some key yields higher. Powell’s stance got backup from fellow Fed officials: half of them now project a rate hike before the end of the year. Kaplan added that stubbornly high inflation is a clear sign monetary policy remains too loose. He also emphasized that Fed rate hikes are rarely one-off moves. “When the centr
