CoreWeave Shares and Bonds Tumble Again as AI Credit Fears Spread to Global Markets
CRWV is trading near its 52-week low of $59.51 (3.2% above the low).
Summary
CoreWeave is at the center of a widening confidence crisis in the AI build-out, with its shares and bonds tumbling again and the stock trading near a 52-week low of $59.51. The selloff has spilled into global markets: euro zone Bund yields fell 11 bps to 3.356%, their lowest in over five weeks, as investors fled tech and credit risk for government debt. This follows a brutal stretch for the company — a $2.6B Anthropic-linked loan that had to be repriced above 10% in July, a Q2 net loss of $626M on $2.58B revenue, and a $4.2B convertible notes raise plus a 35M-share ATM program in September. The core issue is that CoreWeave's growth is financed with borrowed money, and the market is now questioning whether that funding model holds. With $35.6B in debt against a $103.7B backlog, the gap between contracted demand and near-term cash burn is what traders are repricing.
At the time of this announcement, CRWV was trading at $61.41 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $33.9B. The 52-week trading range was $59.51 to $150.40.
