CoreWeave shares dropped 8% on Monday after the AI-focused cloud computing company announced plans to raise $2 billion through a convertible debt offering, a move that immediately sparked investor concern about dilution and growing capital pressure.
The company, now one of the fastest-expanding infrastructure providers for AI model training and inference, said the notes would support continued data-center buildouts and capacity expansion. But the announcement signaled that CoreWeave is still burning heavy cash to keep pace with surging demand from major AI labs and enterprise clients.
Investors reacted sharply to the financing decision, interpreting it as a sign that the company’s rapid growth is being matched by equally aggressive spending. Convertible debt offerings often pressure stock prices, since the notes can later convert into equity.
The sell-off comes as CoreWeave faces intensifying competition from hyperscalers and specialized GPU-cloud rivals, all racing to secure the hardware needed for next-generation AI systems.
