AI’s explosive growth is fueling a corporate debt frenzy, with $570 billion in AI-related borrowing expected by 2026. While Fitch says AI boosted U.S. GDP by 1.4% in Q1, the downside looms: if AI investments flop, it could destabilize corporate credit and bond markets. Tech giants are pouring billions into data centers and chips, betting big on tools that may never turn a profit. The risk? Overheated bets could hurt stockholders and bondholders alike—especially those holding “junk bonds,” like the JNK ETF, which tracks over 1,200 below-investment-grade bonds. Even if not directly tied to AI, these high-yield bonds face heightened risk if an AI-driven tech downturn triggers broader economic weakness. Investors should tread carefully.
