Expert Opinion: Wells Fargo’s Luis Alvarado and Freedom Capital’s Paul Meeks Split on CoreWeave

One says investors want more compensation for risk; the other calls the worry overdone.

Expert Opinion: Wells Fargo’s Luis Alvarado and Freedom Capital’s Paul Meeks Split on CoreWeave

Wells Fargo's Luis Alvarado said investors are demanding more risk compensation as CoreWeave's bond yields neared 15%, while Paul Meeks of Freedom Capital Markets argued the concern is overdone: "It's definitely not a deteriorating situation," CNBC reported.
