CoreWeave shares tumble about 10% amid OpenAI revenue worries and tech sector weakness
On October 8, 2026 CoreWeave stock slipped roughly 10% to around $81 after briefly trading above $90. The decline was sparked by a Financial Times report that OpenAI revenue is about $20 billion below expectations, heightened put activity, and broader weakness in technology shares. CEO Michael Intrator sold 200,000 shares at prices between $85.57 and $88.95. The company also announced a $3 billion convertible debt offering and an at‑the‑market equity issuance of up to 35 million shares.
Why it matters
The slide erodes CoreWeave’s market value and may increase scrutiny of the planned $3 billion financing, which the company says will fund its infrastructure expansion.
