CoreWeave collapses after Gartner predicts 80% of neoclouds will evaporate by 2030

Gartner predicts 80% of neoclouds will fail by 2030 due to insufficient AI revenue. CoreWeave (CRWV) fell 15%, Digital Ocean (DOCN) 14%, and others declined. Gartner says AI data centers need $8.5T revenue by 2030 but only $3.6T is forecast. Hyperscalers like Amazon (AMZN), Google (GOOG, GOOGL), and Microsoft (MSFT) are better positioned.
