CoreWeave's Stock Is Plunging. Should You Buy the Dip?
2026-05-13 20:53:00 ET
It hasn't been an easy start to May for CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) . The artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure provider tumbled more than 10% this month as of May 12, raising the question of whether this sell-off is justified or if investors should buy the dip.
It's important to first understand what rattled the stock. Ultimately, CoreWeave posted solid numbers for this quarter, but its second-quarter guidance fell short of Wall Street's consensus expectations. This, combined with the fact that operating costs more than doubled to $2.2 billion from the same quarter last year, has investors wondering whether the high spending will pay off as growth slows.
CoreWeave anticipates higher capital expenditures over the next quarter as well, which is again shaking investor confidence. CoreWeave's aggressive spending and debt load are putting pressure on the balance sheet and margins. Losses this quarter were higher than at this same time last year, according to the company's earnings report.
