Both said on October 16, as CoreWeave's bonds sold off.
Ives called the worry about CoreWeave's debt a false narrative, given a demand-to-supply imbalance he puts at 13 to 1 and the AI backlog, and called the sell-off a buying opportunity.
Eisman said CoreWeave's 9% bonds fell below 90 cents on the dollar, about a 15% yield, a sign that fixed-income markets are losing confidence in it.
