CoreWeave Rises 7% as Denmark AI Capacity Goes Live, Then Slips After Microsoft Capex Miss

CoreWeave (CRWV) rose 7.32% to $63.93 on Wednesday after launching new AI capacity in Denmark, but slipped post-market following Microsoft's lower-than-expected capex. Microsoft, a major CoreWeave customer, reported $45.2B in capex, missing estimates of $50.7B. CoreWeave's backlog stands at $104B, but its debt exceeds $35B, raising funding concerns. The broader market saw gains, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq up 0.32% and 0.27%, respectively.
