CoreWeave’s Nasdaq Debut Falls Flat, Valued at $23 Billion Despite Tepid Response

March 29, 2025

CoreWeave, an AI infrastructure firm backed by tech giant Nvidia, made its Nasdaq debut on Friday with a less-than-enthusiastic response from investors. The company’s shares closed flat after opening nearly 3% below their offering price, giving it a valuation of $23 billion on a fully diluted basis.

The lackluster performance has raised concerns about the future of initial public offerings (IPOs), especially as equity markets continue to face headwinds from tariff-related uncertainty and broader economic challenges. CoreWeave’s debut had been seen as a potential signal of recovery for the IPO market, but Friday’s muted debut has now dampened those expectations.

CoreWeave specializes in providing AI infrastructure services, catering to the growing demand for computing power driven by advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning. The company’s ties to Nvidia, one of the world’s leading chipmakers, had fueled optimism around its potential to tap into the booming AI industry. However, despite the hype, its stock struggled to gain momentum following its public debut.

The flat closing price reflects a broader caution among investors, many of whom have become more risk-averse amid global market uncertainty, including rising tariffs that continue to affect global trade relations. The IPO market, which had been in a slump in recent years, was hoping that CoreWeave’s debut might signal a return to strong public offerings. Instead, the tepid reception underscores the challenges facing tech startups looking to go public in today’s volatile market conditions.

CoreWeave’s IPO valued the company at $23 billion, a figure based on its fully diluted share count. While still a significant valuation, the initial struggles in the stock’s trading suggest that investors may remain hesitant as they navigate the uncertain economic environment. Whether CoreWeave can recover and see a rebound in its stock price in the coming days or weeks will be closely watched, as it could provide further insight into the health of the broader IPO market.

As equity markets continue to navigate challenges from various global economic factors, CoreWeave’s debut serves as a cautionary tale for other firms looking to tap into the public markets in the near future. While the AI sector remains a promising space for investment, the volatility of the broader market suggests that investors are exercising caution when it comes to high-profile IPOs.
