CoreWeave Slumps 5% on $3B Convertible Debt and New ATM Equity Program
CRWV sits 32% above its 52-week low of $60.55.
Summary
CoreWeave shares fell 5.3% to $78.92 on Thursday, diverging from a 1.6% gain in the Nasdaq Composite, after the company announced a $3 billion convertible senior notes offering due 2033 and a new at-the-market (ATM) program to sell up to 35 million class A shares. The ATM could raise roughly $2.76 billion at current prices, adding equity dilution on top of the debt. The company also disclosed strong demand metrics: recent short-term contracts priced at about $40 million per megawatt annualized, and total contracted power capacity expanded to 4.2 gigawatts as of Aug. 11, up from 3.7 gigawatts at Q2 end. The financing is aimed at migrating CoreWeave's credit profile toward investment grade, but the market is reacting negatively to the dilution and debt load.
At the time of this announcement, CRWV was trading at $79.65 on NASDAQ in the Technology sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $43.9B. The 52-week trading range was $60.55 to $153.20.
