Wednesday's market selloff hit AI stocks unevenly, with companies relying heavily on debt, such as CoreWeave and Nebius, experiencing the steepest declines. Oracle, despite carrying more debt than its peers and having a credit rating just above junk, stands out among large cloud providers due to its reliance on customer prepayments. CoreWeave's high bond yields over 15% highlight concerns about its need for continued lender support despite a large sales backlog. This trend suggests that AI demand may shift toward well-capitalized hyperscalers, though having deep cash reserves does not guarantee profitable spending.
As of Oct 16, 2026 14:51 WIB, CoreWeave (CRWV) trades at USD 67.81 on Pluang, down 2.70% for the day. Nebius (NBIS) holds a price of USD 187.12 with a smaller 0.68% decline. Oracle (ORCL) shows a modest 0.22% drop, priced at USD 134.15, reflecting a more stable investor response to its credit profile.
