From June 1 to October 16, Boost Run $BRUN fell 77.3%, vs. 37.4-58.7% for CoreWeave $CRWV, Nebius $NBIS, and $IREN. That drop in AI infra stocks is tied to to rising bets on another Fed rate hike. Higher rates hurt GPU clouds in two ways, since they (1) raise the cost of the debt that pays for their GPUs and (2) lower what investors will pay today for profits that arrive years later. But all three peers kept or raised their 2026 targets: → $CRWV: Raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $12.4-13.2B on its Q2 call. → $IREN: Raised its year-end ARR target to more than $4B on July 20. → $NBIS: Reaffirmed its 2026 guidance with its Q2 results. The problem is that lenders are charging more now. CoreWeave’s 9.625% notes due 2032 yielded 14.74% on October 16, up from 13.19% on October 1, meaning CoreWeave would likely pay ~15%/year to borrow the same way today. So the selloff came from how investors now see the cost of funding the demand for GPU clouds, not from the demand itself.

I spoke with an expert in the RCM industry today who also previously worked at Apple and Intuit. Currently he has a startup that sees and is going to execute on the same strategy $CCLD pursues. Implementing tech and bringing into the 21st century RCM firms that are greatly behind. He said it’s rare for RCM customers to use same EHR. Said essentially that there will always be a need for software engineers b/c AI is not a magic solution and some last mile things cannot be automated/need a human. Implying CCLD cost advantage due to off shore Pakistan team stays a competitor advantage. He mentioned that the 25-30% contribution margin Carecloud targets from acquisition could be MUCH higher and this is pretty conservative, he was very surprised by this.
