CoreWeave's Pros and Cons Are Balancing Out -- Market Talk

Dow Jones00:15

1215 ET - Davidson analysts have been to both extremes on CoreWeave, and they see now as a good time to be balanced, they say in a research note. "On one hand, we are optimistic regarding the outlook for the category of providing compute and believe CoreWeave has made itself a key participant," they write. "On the other hand, we remain skeptical of CoreWeave's ability to generate sufficient returns given its margin profile and high dependence on debt financing," they add. While the analysts remain optimistic about the AI cloud category, they note that CoreWeave appears to be one of the least profitable clouds, and that execution risk remains high for all cloud businesses. Davidson assumes coverage at neutral and lowers its price target to $100 from $175. Shares fall 6.6%. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
