<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Operational and execution risks have come into sharper focus, with data center construction delays, revised timelines, and infrastructure bottlenecks raising concerns.</li><li>Financial pressures continue to weigh on sentiment, as heavy capital expenditure, a reduced forward outlook, and a speculative credit rating underscore the company’s high-risk, high-reward profile.</li><li>Retail traders and several Wall Street firms continue to bet on a rebound driven by long-term demand for AI.</li></ul>Artificial intelligence (AI) datacenter operator CoreWeave, Inc.’s (CRWV) fortunes have quickly reversed. From a high-profile initial public offering (IPO) in March this year and a meteoric two-month rally that kicked off in late April, <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CRWV">CoreWeave’s stock</a> has lost much of its momentum as skeptics sowed doubt in investors' minds, who were&nbsp;going all in on&nbsp;any AI play.Even so, the stock is still sitting on handsome gains. What has changed is that much of the nearly 370% return it generated at its intraday peak in late June has evaporated, leaving loyal investors wondering whether the heydays will return.<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/CRWV_YTD_Stock_Trajectory_png_d7bd286a31.webp" alt="CRWV YTD Stock Trajectory.png">Source: Koyfin<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Precipitated the Down Move</h2>CoreWeave's hot post-IPO rally stalled after the stock hit a peak in late July.&nbsp; As investors paused for a breather, the Michael Intrator-led company spooked investors by announcing a $9 billion all-stock deal to buy Bitcoin miner Core Scientific, which had also branched out into AI data centers. The agreement has since then been shelved. An expanded AI cloud deal with OpenAI, valued at up to $4 billion, helped to reverse the downtrend. The rally attempt fizzled out in mid-August despite second-quarter results that outperformed expectations. Some blamed the stock slide on the bigger loss it reported for the quarter.&nbsp;After a modest recovery from the post-earnings slide, CoreWeave moved sideways, before the third-quarter earnings report, released in early November, triggered another round of selling in the stock. A delay in the data center infrastructure coming online prompted the company to reduce its forward-looking guidance, exerting downward pressure on the stock.Following the Q3 report, Macquarie analyst Paul Golding, who remains on the sidelines of the stock, cut the price target to $115 from $145. The analyst attributed the action to the use of a lower valuation multiple to reflect the persistently high capital expenditure (capex). He, however, sees room for earnings improvement.Capex, however, declined in the third quarter due to delays at a third-party data center developer, pushing the delivery timeline for "powered shell" capacity.<figure class="table" style="width:94.66%;"><table class="ck-table-resized"><colgroup><col style="width:31.52%;"><col style="width:20.9%;"><col style="width:25.56%;"><col style="width:22.02%;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>Q1'25</td><td>Q2'25</td><td>Q3'25</td></tr><tr><td>Capex</td><td>$1.9B</td><td>$2.9B</td><td>$1.9B</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Data source: Earnings call transcriptThe losses were exacerbated by the AI pessimism that was beginning to grip the market around that time.
