New York, Jan 14, 2026, 17:45 EST — After-hours CoreWeave, Inc. shares climbed 2.6% to $89.80 in after-hours trading Wednesday. CEO Michael Intrator pushed back hard on claims the AI cloud company benefits from Nvidia-linked “circular financing,” calling the notion “ridiculous.” Intrator explained that CoreWeave uses project-specific financing vehicles for its buildout and links customer contract cash flows directly to lenders, according to a Benzinga report.
