CoreWeave Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) just made a big move — but the market didn't applaud. Shares of Core Scientific Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CORZ#NASDAQ">CORZ</a>) plunged nearly 21% on Monday, even as AI cloud provider CoreWeave announced it will acquire the Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) miner in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bitcoin-miners">an all-stock deal</a>.
The twist? 
Beth Kindig, CEO and Lead Tech Analyst at I/O Fund, flagged the valuation in a post on X:
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">CoreWeave <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24CRWV&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$CRWV</a> has agreed to acquire Core Scientific <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24CORZ&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$CORZ</a> in an all-stock transaction expected to close in Q4. The exchange ratio implies a $9 billion equity valuation for <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%24CORZ&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">$CORZ</a>, or $20.40 per share value.
&mdash; Beth Kindig (@Beth_Kindig) <a href="https://twitter.com/Beth_Kindig/status/1942202259799957952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 7, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
The exchange ratio values Core Scientific at a jaw-dropping $9 billion — or $20.40 per share, a massive premium over its pre-deal price of under $11. That's a valuation level this Bitcoin mining company could have secured only during the heady crypto boom days of 2021. And markets aren't buying it.

CoreWeave's stock also dipped 3.9% on the news, despite its own red-hot 293% year-to-date rally. While the company touts the acquisition as a strategic play to vertically integrate and secure cheap, scalable power for its AI infrastructure, investors seem skeptical of marrying high-growth AI with high-volatility crypto mining.
That's a head-turner in today's market, where Bitcoin miners have struggled with compressed margins, regulatory uncertainty, and post-halving revenue pressure. 
Core Scientific is down 12% in the past month and still negative year-to-date — yet CoreWeave's offer implies nearly double the current share price.
CoreWeave's bullish bet hinges on AI's insatiable energy appetite. Owning a Bitcoin mining company such as Core Scientific, which operates massive power-dense data centers, could give CoreWeave better control over energy infrastructure. But the question remains: Can a 2021-style crypto valuation fly in a 2025 market?
For now, the answer from investors is a resounding, "not yet."

Cadence Design Systems, Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>) shares are lower Monday. They have found resistance around $325 again.
But they may be on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/07/46256825/nvidia-crowdstrike-wolfspeed-cadence-design-systems-and-microsoft-why-these-5-stocks-are-on-investors-radars-today">verge of a breakout</a>. This is why our technical analysis team has made it our <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/stock-of-the-day">Stock of the Day</a>.
In the stock market, certain price levels have more importance than others. As you can see on the chart below, the $325 level is one for Cadence.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="531" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/07155945/one-1024x531.png" alt="" class="wp-image-975421" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/07155945/one-1024x531.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/07155945/one-300x156.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/07155945/one-768x398.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/07155945/one.png 1402w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
In early 2024, the stock was trending higher. There weren't enough sell orders to fill all of the buy orders. Those who wished to buy had to continually increase their bid prices to attract sellers into the market. This forced the shares into an uptrend.
In March 2024, the uptrend ended around $325.
There were enough sell orders to fill all of the buy orders. The buyers didn't need to keep pushing the price higher.
But soon after hitting this resistance, the shares reversed and headed lower. When this happened, some people thought their decision to buy was a mistake.

They also decided to get out at breakeven if they could eventually do so.
So when Cadence returned to this level in June 2024, these regretful buyers placed sell orders. And there were so many of them that it created resistance again at the same level.
A similar dynamic occurred in December. Remorseful buyers who paid around $325 in June 2024 saw a chance to finally get out at breakeven, and they took it. Their selling put a top on the price once again.
Then, some of the people who had bought shares attempted to exit at breakeven after the price returned to this level in January.  And again, resistance formed.
Now Cadence has returned to this important level once more. The same thing could happen.
However, if the stock can break out above $325, it will indicate that the sellers are no longer present. They have either canceled or finished their orders.
With these sellers out of the way and this large amount of supply taken off of the market, those who wish to buy may start to push the price higher again.

Stock Of The Day: Breakout Time For Cadence Design?

Horizon, a company offering tailored investment and technology solutions to financial advisors, is introducing two new actively managed ETFs: Horizon Core Bond ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNDY#BATS">BNDY</a>) and Horizon Flexible Income ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLXN#BATS">FLXN</a>). This expansion continues the company&#8217;s growth in its fast-growing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF family.</a>
Both are structured to assist advisors in producing a steady income while managing risk using options overlays, a strategy that is growing in popularity due to interest rate uncertainty and volatile credit markets.

BNDY focuses on investment-grade fixed-income instruments across a range of maturities like government and corporate bonds, and adds put spread overlays to enhance return potential and buffer volatility. The fund carries an expense ratio of 0.65%.
FLXN, on the other hand, ventures into the high-yield debt space, providing flexibility to adjust holdings based on market conditions, once more employing put spread overlays to cushion downside risk and maximize returns. The expense ratio for this fund is 0.80%.
The launch follows hot on the heels of three other ETF rollouts by Horizon just last week, Horizon Core Equity ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STOX#BATS">STOX</a>), Horizon Dividend Income ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIVN#BATS">DIVN</a>), and Horizon Managed Risk ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTY#BATS">SFTY</a>), bringing the firm&#8217;s ETF lineup to seven.
As fixed-income investing evolves, Horizon&#8217;s latest ETFs represent another step in providing advisers with more nimble and risk-conscious solutions in an increasingly complex market environment.

Qualcomm Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QCOM#NASDAQ">QCOM</a>) shares are trading lower on Monday amid possible trade tensions. It was reported that the U.S. is planning to restrict shipments of AI chips to Malaysia and Thailand over China concerns.
According to the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2025-07-05/u-s-plans-ai-chip-curbs-on-malaysia-thailand-over-china-concerns?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Los Angeles Times</a>, President Donald Trump's administration is planning new export restrictions that would require U.S. companies to obtain licenses before sending advanced AI chips to Malaysia and Thailand. The goal is to prevent the indirect transfer of sensitive technology to China.
The updated rules, expected to be proposed as soon as August, target countries that have recently seen a rise in chip-related investment and activity.
The measures will likely include temporary exemptions, allowing shipments from U.S. and allied companies to continue for a limited time without a license. Additional exceptions are also being considered to reduce potential supply chain disruptions.
Officials are also expected to scale back a separate rule on AI chip exports that had faced pushback from U.S. allies and tech firms like Nvidia.
Current restrictions on exports to China and over 40 other countries will stay in effect to curb smuggling and closely monitor sensitive markets.
QCOM Price Action: At publication on Monday, Qualcomm shares are trading 2.54% lower at $158.09, according to data from <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https://www.benzinga.com/pro/&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiWjf6OuKuOAxXbAHkGHVuJE9IQFnoECA4QAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw0xIsPvjIcIIsWev01-6zR2">Benzinga Pro</a>.

<h2>Get to Know Qualcomm Better</h2>
Qualcomm develops and licenses wireless technology and designs chips for smartphones. The company's key patents revolve around CDMA and OFDMA technologies, which are standards in wireless communications that are the backbone of all 3G, 4G, and 5G networks. Qualcomm's IP is licensed by virtually all wireless device makers. The firm is also the world's largest wireless chip vendor, supplying nearly every premier handset maker with leading-edge processors. Qualcomm also sells RF-front end modules into smartphones, as well as chips into automotive and Internet of Things markets.
<h3>Financial Insights: Qualcomm</h3>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Falling below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization reflects a reduced size compared to peers. This positioning may be influenced by factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.
Positive Revenue Trend: Examining Qualcomm's financials over 3M reveals a positive narrative. The company achieved a noteworthy revenue growth rate of 16.93% as of 31 March, 2025, showcasing a substantial increase in top-line earnings. As compared to competitors, the company encountered difficulties, with a growth rate lower than the average among peers in the Information Technology sector.
Net Margin: Qualcomm's net margin surpasses industry standards, highlighting the company's exceptional financial performance. With an impressive 25.61% net margin, the company effectively manages costs and achieves strong profitability.
Return on Equity (ROE): Qualcomm's financial strength is reflected in its exceptional ROE, which exceeds industry averages. With a remarkable ROE of 10.3%, the company showcases efficient use of equity capital and strong financial health.
Return on Assets (ROA): The company's ROA is a standout performer, exceeding industry averages. With an impressive ROA of 5.07%, the company showcases effective utilization of assets.
Debt Management: Qualcomm's debt-to-equity ratio stands notably higher than the industry average, reaching 0.53. This indicates a heavier reliance on borrowed funds, raising concerns about financial leverage.
<h2>Understanding the Relevance of Analyst Ratings</h2>
Ratings come from analysts, or specialists within banking and financial systems that report for specific stocks or defined sectors (typically once per quarter for each stock). Analysts usually derive their information from company conference calls and meetings, financial statements, and conversations with important insiders to reach their decisions.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.
