AI selloff hits Wall Street as major data centre company's stock sinks
CoreWeave shares dropped 15.5 per cent to $65.78 as investors questioned whether the data centre operator can carry $35.6 billion in debt in a rising interest rate environment. The US company listed in March 2025 and rallied on AI enthusiasm before giving back those gains. In Australia, AI data centre operator Firmus scrapped a planned $44 billion ASX listing after institutional investor demand fell short.
