CoreWeave has brought most of the planned 22.5 megawatts of IT capacity online at its DEN01 data center in Copenhagen, its first deployment in Denmark, which uses Nvidia Blackwell systems and lifts its European footprint to nine data centers across five geographies. It is also building what it calls the first global AI backbone network at petabit scale, with connection points in the UAE, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, Korea and Japan, targeted for a complete loop by mid-2027. As of June 30, CoreWeave operated 51 data centers with over 1.5 gigawatts of active power, and contracted power reached about 4.2 gigawatts as of August 11. The stock, nearly 70% below its June 2025 all-time high, fell 37% in October, which UBS attributed to weaker investor confidence in AI infrastructure providers; UBS cut its target to $105 from $120 while keeping a 'Buy' rating, and Morgan Stanley lowered its target to $70 from $99 with an 'Equal Weight' rating.

- CRWV, NBIS, IREN, APLD Stocks Drop After Microsoft Capex Falls Short On Delayed Third-Party Capacity
Neocloud stocks fell overnight after Microsoft reported fiscal Q1 CapEx of $45.2 billion, up about 30% year on year but below the $50.7 billion StreetAccount estimate and its own target of around $50 billion. Microsoft blamed delays in some third-party cloud capacity under contract, and CFO Amy Hood said CapEx would exceed $50 billion in Q2 and about $170 billion for the calendar year. Alphabet's Q3 CapEx of $51.36 billion also came in below the $55.09 billion expected, which investors read as a sign that capacity ramp-up at neocloud firms could slow. CoreWeave fell 5.8%, Nebius 6.3%, Iren 5.3% and Applied Digital 4.3%, while Iren had raised $363 million by refinancing recently purchased AI computing equipment through a six-lender syndicate. Bank of America also disclosed a 4.1% stake in Iren.
- Down Almost 25% in a Week, Is CoreWeave Stock a Buy Now?
CoreWeave (CRWV) shares plunged nearly 25% in a week as investors grew concerned about the financial risks behind the AI infrastructure boom. The article highlights strong growth, with second-quarter 2026 revenue reaching $2.6 billion, up 112% year over year, and a revenue backlog of roughly $104 billion. However, it points to debt of about $50 billion, bond yields on some notes surging to around 15%-16%, and competition from Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet and Nebius as key risks. The author says valuation and the company's ability to deliver infrastructure on schedule are the main things to watch, and would keep the stock on a watch list rather than buy the dip now.
- Gartner: 80% of neocloud firms face extinction by 2030 as AI capex outpaces returns
CoreWeave fell 23.85% in the week ended October 19 to close at $61.12, while Nebius Group dropped 18.96%, after Gartner chief forecaster John Lovelock said more than 80% of independent neocloud companies will stop operating independently by 2030, possibly through mergers rather than bankruptcy. Lovelock set an 18% return on invested capital hurdle and said revenue for companies with simple business models will be insufficient until 2032. CoreWeave lost $626 million on $2.58 billion of second-quarter revenue, its interest expense rose to $640 million, and it plans $35 billion to $39 billion of capex this year, while Nebius spent $8.13 billion on capex in the first half of 2026 and carries about $10.0 billion of convertible debt. On the other side, CoreWeave reports $104 billion of backlog and raised prices about 25%, and Nebius's first capacity auction cleared 15% above its previous high. The article concludes that risks for the group appear to outweigh the protection their backlogs offer, and that Microsoft and Amazon are better positioned.
- CoreWeave Expands AI Cloud Infrastructure Footprint at a Global Scale

New points of presence are planned in the UAE, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, South Korea and Japan, with rollout starting later in Q4 2026 and a full loop expected by mid-2027.

- AI Cloud Stocks Rise as CoreWeave Adds Denmark Capacity: CoreWeave and Nebius Climb 4%, Oracle Ticks Up
CoreWeave switched on its first Denmark data center at atNorth's Copenhagen facility, lifting its European footprint to nine data centers, and is extending its network with connection points in the UAE, India, Indonesia, Singapore, Australia, Korea and Japan. The first of these start later this quarter, with a full loop across four continents targeted by the middle of next year. CoreWeave stock was at $57.54, up 4% in morning trading, after a steep October decline tied to borrowing costs for AI infrastructure. Nebius rose 4% to $159.99 and Oracle gained 2% to $127.99, with the article noting Oracle's more diversified business. The article says CoreWeave's financing costs, which grow with each new site and network link, remain the key question.

- Your fridge could one day stake Ether, launch memecoins: CFTC chair
CFTC Chair Michael Selig said autonomous AI agents could challenge financial rules built around human traders, and regulators need to adapt. At the agency's inaugural Frontier Forum in Washington, he offered the example of a refrigerator buying groceries with money earned from staking Ether, or even launching its own memecoin. An eToro survey found that 79% of U.S. millennial investors and 77% of Gen Z investors already used or were open to using AI to select or adjust their investments. Selig raised questions about whether AI agent developers would need to register, who would be liable if an agent went rogue, and whether a new know-your-agent (KYA) standard is needed. He also said AI could help smaller traders access risk management tools, but agents could react unexpectedly, similar models could create correlated trading behavior, and the speed of autonomous transactions could complicate market surveillance.
- Asian currencies mixed as dollar steadies after Fed hold, PCE eyed
Asian currencies traded mixed on Thursday as the dollar steadied after the Fed held rates, with investors awaiting U.S. inflation data and policy decisions in Europe and Japan. The Fed kept its policy rate at 3.75%-4.00% in a 10-2 vote, and Chair Kevin Warsh expressed confidence inflation could return to the 2% target without significantly slowing growth, though he offered little clarity on a possible December hike. Markets still priced a 78% probability of a December increase, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The yen edged higher ahead of the Bank of Japan's decision, expected to keep its rate at 1.25%, while the New Zealand dollar fell as much as 1.7% to around $0.5585 after the RBNZ unexpectedly held its cash rate at 2.75%, before steadying at $0.5622.
