  1. CoreWeave Shares Plummet Amid AI Debt Fears Despite Nvidia Support

    CoreWeave stock fell 11% and briefly hit its lowest point of 2026 as investors weigh the cost of funding the company's AI buildout. While Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang expressed optimism and stated that CoreWeave is improving and needs no backstop, markets remain concerned about the use of high-cost junk bonds to finance data centers. Goldman Sachs recently upgraded the stock to a Buy rating, but shares remained flat on Monday as the market tests the math behind neocloud expansion.
