Investing.com - Cloud computing service provider CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) stock fell 2% on Thursday after Bernstein initiated coverage with a below-market rating and a target price of $56, amid a broader decline in tech stocks.

The stock closed Wednesday at $79.50, well above Bernstein’s target price. Analyst Madison Rezaei acknowledged that the company has benefited from demand for computing power but expressed concerns about future market dynamics.

“With many options available, we believe that mega-scale cloud providers will have little incentive to sign more large contracts with CRWV,” Rezaei wrote in the report. “Mega-scale cloud providers are more likely to try to compete directly by extending GPU cloud services as a natural extension of their traditional cloud offerings, thereby eroding CRWV’s market share.”

The analyst warned of risks when market capacity begins to loosen, implying that as large cloud providers expand into CoreWeave’s domain, competitive pressure could intensify.
