  • CoreWeave stock down 42% in 2026 amid aggressive AI infrastructure expansion
    April 9, 2026, 7:41 AM EDT. CoreWeave (CRWV), backed by Nvidia, trades at $85.24, down 42% this year from a $187 high after its March 2025 IPO. The firm rents Nvidia-powered cloud computing for AI model training, benefiting from high demand and a $66.8 billion revenue backlog signaling strong future orders. However, heavy spending to scale up capacity is causing steep losses and balance-sheet pressures. In Q4 2025, CoreWeave posted a $452 million net loss and $388 million in net interest expenses. For 2026, capital expenditures are forecast to rise above $30 billion, more than double 2025's $14.9 billion, raising concerns over margins and debt. Investors wrestle with whether rapid expansion will yield profitable growth or risk shareholder value due to high costs and execution challenges.
