Over the past 12 months, Oracle and CoreWeave shares have each fallen about 55%. Over the same period, Oracle’s 2032 bonds lost 14 points and CoreWeave’s 2031 bonds lost 21. In other words, the bonds lost points while the stocks lost half their value. The latest selloff in CoreWeave’s bonds was fast and severe, but this is not a CoreWeave default story.
