• Negative Sentiment: CEO Michael Intrator sold 307,692 shares for approximately $29.5 million at an average price of $95.72.

• Negative Sentiment: Bearish commentary argues that CoreWeave’s highly leveraged business model could struggle if AI infrastructure spending slows, capacity becomes excessive or interest rates remain elevated.
