The deal gives PhysicsX access to CoreWeave’s high-performance compute to train its Large Physics Models — AI systems built on physics-based simulation data and real industrial datasets. The models are used to speed up engineering design cycles in sectors like aerospace, automotive, and semiconductors.

PhysicsX CEO Jacomo Corbo said the partnership gives the company “the computational backbone required to scale physics AI” in demanding industrial environments. CoreWeave SVP Max Hjelm said its infrastructure is built to handle the extreme compute demands these models require.

The stock was up 8.61% on the news, though it remains well off its 52-week high of $187.00. It opened Wednesday at $74.92.

Analyst Sentiment Mixed

Wall Street is divided on CoreWeave. Of 32 analysts covering the stock, 18 have a Buy rating, 12 a Hold, and 2 a Sell. The consensus price target sits at $122.35 — a substantial premium to where the stock is trading now.

Wells Fargo cut its target from $150 to $125 in January, keeping an “overweight” rating. Barclays trimmed its target from $120 to $90 with an “equal weight” rating. Sanford C. Bernstein started coverage in March with an “underperform” and a $56 target — the most bearish call in the group.

Magnetar Financial remains the largest institutional holder, owning roughly 16.78% of the company. CoreWeave makes up 68.2% of Magnetar’s entire portfolio. The firm did reduce its position by 14.4% in Q3, selling about 13.8 million shares.

Billionaire Philippe Laffont’s fund also sold its stake in the most recent 13F filing period.

Legal Pressure Mounting

CoreWeave is facing a growing pile of securities litigation. Pomerantz Law Firm filed a class action covering the period March 28 to December 15, 2025, alleging violations of federal securities laws. Several other firms — including Rosen, Hagens Berman, and Bragar Eagel & Squire — are also soliciting lead plaintiffs ahead of a March 13 deadline.

The lawsuits point to CoreWeave’s Q4 loss of roughly $452 million and what plaintiffs describe as soft guidance and infrastructure delays that allegedly triggered a 16% drop in the stock.

The company reported Q4 EPS of -$0.89, missing the consensus estimate of -$0.61. Revenue came in at $1.57 billion, up 110.4% from the prior year period but the loss was wider than expected.

On the insider activity side, CEO Michael Intrator sold 32,456 shares on February 25 at $99.95, for a total of around $3.24 million. Insider Kristen Mcveety sold 2,671 shares the following day at $97.92. Over the past 90 days, insiders have sold a combined 4.17 million shares worth roughly $356.8 million.

CoreWeave’s debt-to-equity ratio stands at 4.46, and the company has a current ratio of 0.46. Its market cap is $31.39 billion with a PE ratio of -23.41.
