On June 5, Core Scientific fell 5.23% in regular trading, trading at $26.47/share, with trading volume of $75.35 million. The stock continued its downward trend following the company's formal termination of the $9 billion all-stock acquisition agreement with NVIDIA-backed CoreWeave after shareholders voted to reject the related proposal.
CoreWeave had pursued the acquisition to secure energy and data center computing resources needed to support its surging demand. The termination removes a major near-term valuation re-rating catalyst, intensifying market uncertainty regarding Core Scientific's independent growth path. The stock had previously risen above $30 on analyst upgrades, with B.Riley raising its target price to $33, but has since reversed sharply over consecutive sessions.
Within the Application Software sector, broad weakness persisted among computing-related names. Strategy fell 7.27%, IREN Ltd dropped 8.92%, Circle Internet Corp. declined 7.08%, and Palantir Technologies fell 1.83%, while AppLovin Corporation gained 1.95%.
