This is what a $10,000 investment in CoreWeave stock would be worth now

So just how much would you have if you'd invested $10,000 in CoreWeave stock when it IPO'd? The 242% gain through Sept. 30 would have turned $10,000 into $34,200. Not bad.

CoreWeave is attempting to thread a needle

Despite the flashy numbers and the impressive chart, I would caution investors from getting swept away in the excitement. CoreWeave is very new to the public markets and its growth is built on a rocky foundation. The company's growth is being fueled by expensive debt. It is walking a tightrope as it must expand capacity at a lightning pace in order not to fall short of what it is promising clients, but if it expands too quickly or AI demand sags -- a possibility that shouldn't be taken ignored -- CoreWeave could find itself in very hot water.
