CoreWeave Bonds Sink as Credit Investors Fret Over Debt Load
CRWV is trading near its 52-week low of $60.55 (10% above the low).
Summary
CoreWeave shares fell 13% to $67.52 on Wednesday, their lowest close since July 29, as credit investors signaled growing concern about the company's debt burden. The 9.625% notes due 2032 traded at $79.50, down from $85 at the start of October, pushing the yield to 15.06% from 13.42%. This follows a series of capital raises including a $4.2 billion convertible notes offering completed in September and a $2.6 billion leveraged loan tied to Anthropic that required yield increases to attract investors. The bond selloff suggests lenders are demanding higher compensation for risk, which could raise future borrowing costs for the AI infrastructure provider. The stock is down 20% in October alone.
At the time of this announcement, CRWV was trading at $66.66 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $36.8B. The 52-week trading range was $60.55 to $150.40.
