On October 15, the credit risk of artificial intelligence cloud computing firm CoreWeave soared to an all-time high, influenced by the downturn in the high-yield bond market. The company's intention to further ramp up its borrowing has amplified concerns among bond investors. According to ICE Data Services, the cost of CoreWeave's five-year credit default swaps (CDS) spiked by 74.5 basis points at one juncture, hitting 1,194.5 basis points and marking a new intraday peak. This signals that swap market pricing implies the company faces a greater than 60% likelihood of defaulting within the next five years. Concurrently, CoreWeave's bonds ranked among the poorest performers in the U.S. junk bond market on Thursday. The financing surge in the artificial intelligence sector is stirring apprehension among bond investors, compelling the market to reevaluate the credit risks associated with certain major tech firms. This is underscored by a sharp uptick in credit default insurance premiums, heightened market volatility, and subpar bond performance. As a pioneer in the artificial intelligence cloud computing arena and heavily reliant on the high-yield bond market for financing to fuel its business growth, CoreWeave has garnered considerable market scrutiny.
