CoreWeave shares tumble after-hours as Nvidia leadership turmoil raises partnership risk

CoreWeave reported third‑quarter revenue of $3.66 billion, up 168% year‑over‑year, and a contracted backlog of about $132.5 billion. After Nvidia’s board announced a possible review of CEO Jensen Huang’s role, CoreWeave’s stock fell roughly 7% in after‑hours trading. CEO Michael Intrator reiterated Nvidia’s importance but declined to comment on the board matter.

The share decline reflects investor concern that a change at Nvidia could affect its equity stake, supply of processors and back‑stop contracts that underpin CoreWeave’s growth, potentially increasing financing risk for the AI‑cloud provider.
