Stock Track | CoreWeave Shares Plummet 5.01% Intraday Amid Analyst Warnings Over Business Model Risks

Stock Track03-18

CoreWeave, Inc. (CRWV) shares plummeted 5.01% during intraday trading on Tuesday, underperforming the broader technology sector.

The sharp decline follows a critical analyst report from Bernstein. Analyst Madison Rezaei issued an "underperform" rating with a $56 price target, implying a potential drop of over 30% from recent levels. The report highlights fundamental risks in CoreWeave's business model, noting that its major customers—hyperscalers like Microsoft and Meta Platforms—are building their own data-center capacity and could view CoreWeave as a temporary "stopgap" solution rather than a long-term partner.

Bernstein projects that CoreWeave's aggressive $30 billion in capital expenditures will result in negative free cash flow of $23 billion in 2026. Furthermore, the analyst firm suggests the company's current valuation implies an unrealistic backlog figure through 2030, with increasing competition in the cloud infrastructure space posing significant threats to future contract signings.
