- CoreWeave shares have slid to a multi-week low, erasing a significant portion of the recent gains.
- Blackstone and Google have struck a large-scale data center agreement, raising competition concerns.
- The ongoing CoreWeave sell-off looks disconnected from its fundamentals, raising the question of whether the decline is overdone.
CoreWeave stock price continued its recent downward trend after investors reacted to Blackstone’s and Google’s recent announcement. CRWV, which is backed by NVIDIA, plunged to $95, its lowest level since April 10 this year, and 32% from its highest point this year. Other similar companies, like IREN and Nebius, also plunged.
Google and BlackRock Deal Sends Neocloud Stocks Lower
Coreweave stock retreated after a major data center deal between Google and BlackRock, the biggest player in the alternative asset industry. The company committed $5 billion to the deal, which is expected to increase to over $25 billion when leverage is included.
This will be an important deal as it will leverage Google’s TPU chips, which are widely seen as direct competitors to NVIDIA’s Blackwell. As a result, CoreWeave stock is plunging amid investor anticipation of more industry competition.

In addition to Google, more companies have entered the booming neocloud business. For example, IREN and Nebius recently received a $2 billion investment from NVIDIA. Other companies, such as MARA Holdings, Riot Platforms, and Hive Digital, have entered the industry.
Still, CoreWeave has some major advantages that will help it continue to thrive in the long term. For one, it has become the industry’s biggest name, with a revenue backlog of $100 billion.
CoreWeave has inked deals with all the industry’s biggest companies. It has a long partnership with Microsoft and OpenAI, and most recently, it reached an agreement with Anthropic, a company that recently raised funds at a $900 billion valuation.
Analysts believe its second-quarter revenue will be $2.57 billion, up 111% from the same period last year. Its annual revenue this year will be $12.67 billion, up by 146% YoY, followed by $24.6 billion in the next one. If this trend continues, it will cross the $50 billion mark in 2028 or 2029.
Concerns about the soaring debt and potential dilution are real, as the company has borrowed over $15 billion in the past few years. However, this borrowing is mostly justified as the company needs these funds to continue funding its long-term contracts.
CoreWeave Stock Price Technical Analysis
The daily timeframe chart shows that the CRWV stock has crashed in the past few days, erasing the gains it made after its earnings. It has plunged from a high of $138.10 to the current $97.
The stock has crashed below the important support level at $113.86, its highest point in January, and the neckline of the double-bottom pattern. It is now moving below the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMA).
Therefore, the most likely scenario is where the CoreWeave stock retreats further and then resumes the uptrend. More gains will be confirmed if the stock jumps above the key resistance level at $113.86. A move above that level will point to more gains, potentially to $138.10.
