CoreWeave Debt Restructuring Triggers 20% Equity Selloff Despite Contracted AI Revenue Backlog

CoreWeave's equity reaction reflected surface-level leverage optics rather than contract coverage or collateral structure. Primary documents show contracted revenue exceeds incremental interest expense by more than four times through 2027.

Next catalyst is the Q4 utilization print due in February. If reported figures exceed 78 percent, the amended covenants reset and the 150 basis point spread increase reverses, removing the primary driver of the recent equity pressure.

⚡ Prediction

Goldman Sachs: CoreWeave equity recovers 18 percent within 90 days if Q4 utilization exceeds 78 percent.
