The cloud computing provider dropped 2.5 per cent on Friday to $39 as it started trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market following the largest US tech IPO since chipmaker Arm Holdings went public in September 2023.\u00a0CoreWeave raised $1.5bn when it floated its shares at $40 a piece on Thursday evening. It had initially targeted raising $4bn and dropped that figure to $2.7bn when it began a roadshow to generate interest for its shares last week.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t really think of the market as friendly or unfriendly,\u201d CoreWeave chief executive Michael Intrator told the Financial Times on Friday. \u201cWe have definitely been doing this during a bit of a challenging time with regards to the AI trade in financial markets.\u201dHe said CoreWeave made a decision to \u201cright size\u201d its IPO on Thursday \u201cso that we could bring in those investors that we thought would be the most supportive\u201d.The majority of the shares were sold to just 15 buyers, one of which was Nvidia, according to Intrator.\u201cI look at any book that is tightly held by large, long-term holders of our equity as a wonderful allocation\u2009.\u2009.\u2009. I think it\u2019s really amazing to have such a concentrated book,\u201d he said.The downsized IPO comes during a volatile year in US equities. Big Tech stocks that had surged over the previous two years, partly on hopes of booming demand for AI-linked products and services, have pulled back sharply this year as investors have grown worried about the potential for overcapacity in the sector and broader signs of cooling in the economy. CoreWeave has attracted intense scrutiny since announcing its plans to go public, with attention focused on the company\u2019s large debt burden and close ties to chipmaker Nvidia, a key supplier, customer and investor. Just under 80 per cent of CoreWeave\u2019s $1.9bn revenue last year came from two customers, according to filings.Intrator said CoreWeave\u2019s business model was \u201ca little bit different\u201d, adding: \u201cIt\u2019s going to take a while for folks to understand and begin to get comfortable with it, but our expectation is that the equity markets, very much like the debt markets, after they get to spend some time with the company\u2009.\u2009.\u2009.\u2009they will get very comfortable.\u201dThe lacklustre first trading came as the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dropped 2.6 per cent on Friday, extending a poor start to the year for some of Silicon Valley\u2019s biggest companies. The Trump administration\u2019s aggressive trade agenda has rocked equity markets over the past month and a half, denting the valuations of several of the tech groups that have dominated Wall Street in recent years.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
