CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) shares and bonds fell last week as investors reassessed financing needs for AI infrastructure, with its 2031 bond yield approaching 16% and the cost of insuring its debt against default rising to about 1,000 basis points. J.P. Morgan estimates large US investment banks and Japan's MUFG could each have roughly $1 billion to $3 billion of exposure, while most European and Asian banks have less than $500 million, though these are simplified estimates given limited bank disclosure. Much of that exposure comes from delayed draw term loans, with about $24 billion committed, $15 billion drawn and $9 billion undrawn, largely held through special-purpose vehicles tied to project milestones, which J.P. Morgan views as well managed and well secured. CoreWeave carries about $50 billion of debt, and J.P. Morgan identifies the gap between upfront infrastructure spending and customer payments as its main financial risk, expecting free cash flow to stay negative until 2030.

- CoreWeave and Nebius Stocks Are Crashing. Time to Buy the Dip?
Shares of Nebius and CoreWeave each fell 25% in the week of October 12 to 16. The sell-off stems from the yield on CoreWeave's debt in the secondary market surging to 15%, versus roughly 5% on Treasuries, which pushes the debt into 'distressed' territory and signals doubts about its ability to meet obligations. Nebius sold off in sympathy as a fellow neocloud company. The bigger concern is that both companies must keep issuing debt to fund data centers, and if yields are high at issuance, the assumption of nearly unlimited cheap capital could be challenged. The author says it is unclear whether now is the time to buy.
- CoreWeave’s market confidence erodes as bond yields spike and stock sinks
CoreWeave faces growing investor doubts as bond yields rise and its stock falls, with a Barclays analyst describing sentiment as decidedly negative. The company is valued at roughly $34 billion, down from a peak market cap of about $90 billion, its stock is down 29% this month, and its unsecured debt yields about 15%. The spread on its five-year credit default swaps reached nearly 1,067 basis points, up 30% in October. Peers also fell sharply, with Nebius down 27% and IREN down 32% this month, while CoreWeave has about $20.7 billion of debt coming due through 2030.
- The All-In Hosts Asked If the AI Trade Is Cracking. Here’s What Income Investors Should Do
The All-In hosts asked whether the AI trade is breaking as CoreWeave’s stock sold off, with its bonds marked down to 80%. CoreWeave borrows heavily to expand its GPU capacity: second-quarter revenue rose 112.3% to $2.575 billion, but free cash flow was -$5.74 billion and interest expense climbed to $640 million from $267 million a year earlier. Its 2032 bonds yielded 15% versus 5.09% for the 10-year Treasury, while the bulls argue demand remains massive and operating cash flow turned positive at $679 million. The article also points to Procter & Gamble and ADP as income-investor examples, both with yields below the 5.09% Treasury.
- This AI Company Loaded with Debt Is Giving Everyone the Heebie Jeebies
CoreWeave, an AI company that borrows to buy Nvidia GPUs and rents them to Meta, OpenAI and Microsoft, has seen its $1.25 billion junk bond due 2032, issued in June at a 9.625% rate, push its yield above 15% within about four months, reaching distressed levels amid a broader AI bond selloff. Its five-year credit default swap hit a record 1,194.5 basis points last week, implying more than a 60% chance of default within five years, and the company is projected to be cash-flow negative until 2030. The author argues the near-term picture is less dire than the bond market suggests, since cash flow depends on GPU rental prices and demand, which remain strong. The bigger risk, the author says, would be a sharp fall in demand and GPU prices, drawing a parallel with the bandwidth price collapse of the dot-com era that could leave leveraged borrowers in serious trouble.
- Coreweave Keeps Getting Crushed: This Analyst Says It's Going to Quadruple In Price
CoreWeave shares fell to $61.12, near their 52-week low, after bond yields briefly rose above 16% and the cost of insuring its debt hit records above 1,000 basis points amid rate-hike fears and a $50 billion debt load. Second-quarter interest expense reached $640 million, up from $267 million a year earlier. Of 42 analysts, the average price target of $140.58 implies about 130% upside, with Rosenblatt's $250 target the most bullish, and Goldman upgraded the stock to Buy. Second-quarter revenue rose 112.3% to $2.575 billion and backlog reached $104 billion, but free cash flow was negative $5.74 billion last quarter, so the bullish case depends on continued access to capital markets.

- Musk's wants to merge SpaceX and Tesla: Here's what to know
Musk said SpaceX and Tesla have formed special committees to study a merger, which would be worth about $3.5 trillion combined and would be the largest corporate deal in history. SpaceX, valued at about $2 trillion after a record listing this year, absorbed Musk's AI startup xAI in February, while Tesla is valued at about $1.5 trillion. Musk holds about 82 percent of SpaceX's voting power but only about 20 percent at Tesla. Dan Ives puts the odds of a deal at 90 percent by early 2027, though Musk called the requirement of a majority of all Tesla shares 'quite a high hurdle'. Loyal retail investors hold an estimated 25 to 27 percent of Tesla shares, and legal obstacles appear slight because both companies moved their incorporation to Texas from Delaware.
- Disney’s multiplatform Super Bowl plan frustrates ABC affiliates
ABC station owners are irritated that Disney is airing the Super Bowl across several platforms, including Disney+, ESPN2, NFL Network and ESPNU, even though the game is already on ABC and ESPN. A station group CEO estimates that the combined platforms could cut broadcast ad revenue by up to 35% compared with last year. Local affiliates typically earn about 3% of annual ad revenue from the Super Bowl and pay network owners reverse retransmission fees, but Disney+ lacks geofenced ad insertion, so affiliates cannot sell ads to streaming viewers. Disney says national commercials will be identical on all platforms and that streaming major live events is standard industry practice. Super Bowl LX drew 125.6 million viewers in February.
- Nasdaq sell-off: A momentum unwind 'for the record books'
Matt Stucky, chief portfolio manager for equities at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, calls Thursday’s sell-off in the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) a momentum unwind “for the record books.” He says the market spent the first half of 2026 driven by a beta and momentum trade led by semiconductors, but in the third quarter, as rates rose, money shifted into quality stocks. He does not think the sell-off is justified by fundamentals, arguing that institutional portfolio managers swapping out of factor positions can drag down whole baskets of stocks. In semiconductors, spot rental rates for Nvidia Blackwell chips are higher than a month ago, showing tightening compute supply, even as financing costs rise and investors worry about neocloud business models and the rising cost of insuring their bonds.
- Meta’s deal to keep Zuckerberg in California adds fuel to wealth tax debate ahead of election
Meta says Mark Zuckerberg will remain in California for eight years and has created a new stock plan that could help cover his taxes if Proposition 40, a 5% tax on Californians worth over $1 billion, passes on Election Day on Nov. 3. According to a filing released with its third-quarter earnings, Meta will issue non-voting Class C shares starting in January, and Zuckerberg can sell or transfer up to 20% of the shares granted to him without affecting his majority voting control. The filing says Zuckerberg’s leadership is crucial to the company’s growth and its AI ambitions, including Meta Superintelligence Labs. Most of the tech industry opposes the measure, while a recent Citrin-Politico poll found 46% in favor and 43% against, suggesting it may fall short of the majority support it needs.
- Dune launches real-time data feeds covering 200 onchain trading venues
Blockchain analytics platform Dune has launched real-time market data feeds covering more than 200 onchain trading venues, aiming to bring this data into the systems of traditional financial institutions. The feeds draw trade data from 12 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana and Base, about one second after execution, covering both spot trading on decentralized exchanges and perpetual futures on Hyperliquid and Lighter. Early clients include quant funds, market makers, asset managers and bank trading desks, which use the data to assess liquidity and compare prices, though Dune did not name them. Meanwhile, the tokenized stock market has grown sharply, with distributed value reaching $3.58 billion, but 16 companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Goldman Sachs, have objected to their shares being traded on OKXICE’s proposed platform, and liquidity remains fragmented.
- Apple’s foldable iPhone has a $2,000 app problem
Yahoo Finance Tech Editor Dan Howley has had hands-on time with Apple’s foldable iPhone Duo, which hits stores Friday. He finds the design strong, though one-handed use requires stretching your thumb, and people with small hands will likely need two hands. The matte screen hides the crease well, addressing a durability concern that earlier foldables faced, and Samsung and Google have also solved it. Howley calls the device mainly an early-adopter product, warning that apps may not look perfect at launch. He also notes it has ultra-wide and wide cameras but no zoom lens, so buyers who want zoom should consider the Pro models.
