CoreWeave, Inc. (CRWV) saw a small insider sale late last month when Chief Development Officer Brannin McBee, acting through family trusts for which he is manager, sold 1,031 shares of Class A common stock on January 26, 2026, for approximately $202,982.
The dispositions were carried out under a pre-arranged trading plan and executed via two family trust entities: the Canis Major 2025 Family Trust LLC and the Canis Minor 2025 Family Trust LLC. Reported execution prices for the trades ranged from $98.584 to $106.5193 per share. In a related capital-structure action, 2,000 shares of Class B common stock were converted into Class A common stock.
At the time of the filings, CoreWeave shares were trading at $106.02 and the company held a market capitalization of $56.7 billion. InvestingPro’s analysis characterized the stock as slightly overvalued. Over the prior week the shares had delivered a 15.5% return, and investors are tracking an upcoming earnings release scheduled for February 18.
Beyond the insider transaction, CoreWeave’s strategic and capital backdrop has been active. NVIDIA committed a $2 billion equity investment into CoreWeave intended to accelerate the development of in excess of 5 gigawatts of capacity by 2030. That injection increases NVIDIA’s ownership stake in CoreWeave to about 9% and positions CoreWeave as a significant element within NVIDIA’s data center strategy.
Analyst sentiment on CoreWeave is mixed, reflecting differing views on the company’s growth trajectory and financial risks. Deutsche Bank upgraded the stock to a Buy and raised its price target to $140, citing a favorable outlook for AI infrastructure and expectations for management guidance for 2026. DA Davidson reiterated a Buy rating with a $110 price target, pointing to the expanded partnership with NVIDIA. Jefferies also retained a Buy rating with a $120 price target, noting that the partnership helps reduce execution risk and supports scaling efforts.
By contrast, HSBC trimmed its price target to $41 and maintained a Reduce rating. HSBC’s decision was driven by concerns about rising interest costs and an observed widening in CoreWeave’s credit default spreads, which the firm said implies higher yields for any new debt issuance. These assessments highlight a divergence among analysts between optimism tied to strategic partnerships and caution tied to financial conditions and valuation.
