Lawsuit Background: A class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of investors who purchased Coreweave securities between March 28 and December 15, 2025, alleging the company overstated its ability to meet customer demand, which could materially impact revenues.
Stock Price Volatility: Following Core Scientific's announcement of insufficient shareholder votes to approve the merger agreement, Coreweave's stock price fell by $7.39 on October 31, 2025, a decline of approximately 5.5%, indicating market concerns about the company's future.
Guidance Downgrade: Coreweave lowered its 2025 financial guidance during its Q3 2025 earnings report, citing temporary delays from a third-party data center developer, resulting in a stock price drop of $17.22 on November 10, 2025, or about 16.3%.
Declining Market Confidence: After The Wall Street Journal reported delays in the completion of Coreweave's data center project, the stock price fell by $6.24 on December 15, 2025, a decline of approximately 7.9%, reflecting increasing market fears regarding the AI bubble.

Neutral

Reason

JPMorgan analyst Mark Murphy says recent meetings with CoreWeave management "underscored ongoing strength" in the company's demand environment as well as its expanding customer base and pipeline. Improved visibility is being driven by lengthening contract durations, the analyst tells investors in a research note. JPMorgan notes that CoreWeave spoke of a robust demand environment as AI-related compute capacity remains substantially constrained relative to customer propensity to purchase. The company said demand is "unsolvable" within AI currently, the firm adds. JPMorgan keeps a Neutral rating on CoreWeave with a $110 price target.

Reason

Truist initiated coverage of CoreWeave (CRWV) with a Hold rating and $84 price target. CoreWeave holds a leadership position in providing purpose-built AI cloud infrastructure and has become a trusted provider to leading AI labs and hyperscalers, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The Nvidia (NVDA) partnership is vital as it ensures CoreWeave access to GPUs, providing a long-term revenue backstop, Truist says.

Reason

As previously reported, DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria upgraded CoreWeave to Neutral from Underperform with a price target of $68, up from $36. The firm was "reluctant," but upgrades shares as it believes that a successful $100B fundraise by OpenAI is "not a forgone conclusion," but serves as a potential positive catalyst for CoreWeave. If completed, such a raise would allow OpenAI to live up to all of its commitments in 2026, including to CoreWeave, and while the firm believes that "the equity in shares of CRWV may ultimately lose all its value since the entire value of the enterprise is owned by debt holders," it thinks a fundraise from OpenAI "would kick the can down the road for the inevitable reckoning."

Reason

Jefferies analyst Brent Thill lowered the firm's price target on CoreWeave to $120 from $155 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm believes 2026 will be "another year of gradual AI monetization," but thinks more meaningful growth contribution and acceleration are needed to ease AI disintermediation fears, requiring more selectivity, the analyst tells investors in an outlook note on the software group. "While we remain confident that value will ultimately accrue to the software layer, investors may need to stay patient" with sector valuation back at historical average, the analyst added.
