NetApp Upgraded by Evercore ISI
Evercore ISI upgraded NetApp to 'outperform' from 'in line' and raised its price target to $300 from $210, implying 31% upside. Analyst Amit Daryanani cited continued strength in NetApp's core business and potential from AI-driven storage demand. Shares have surged 113% year-to-date, driven by hyperscaler data center buildouts. The firm also highlighted NetApp's growth in product, support, and public cloud verticals, and projected double-digit revenue CAGR for the storage industry.
Rising Bond Yields Threaten Debt-Heavy AI Infrastructure Buildout
As Treasury yields surge to their highest levels since 2007, companies heavily reliant on debt for AI infrastructure face higher borrowing costs. JPMorgan estimates $4.1 trillion in AI-related debt will be issued through 2030. The 10-year Treasury yield near 5.17% pressures neocloud providers like CoreWeave and Oracle, the latter seeing its stock slide after a force majeure report. SoftBank raised $11.1 billion in junk bonds at yields up to 9.75%. While hyperscalers with investment-grade ratings access cheaper capital, smaller neoclouds face tighter lending standards. Despite rising rates, demand for AI services remains explosive, with Meta's Muse app reaching 2.5 million downloads in two weeks. Industry experts argue that the intense demand for compute capacity will continue to drive borrowing despite increased costs.
