April 28 : Oracle and CoreWeave shares fell in premarket trading on Tuesday after the Wall Street Journal reported OpenAI has missed its goals for new users and revenue in recent months, raising concerns over the ChatGPT creator's growth prospects.
OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar expressed concerns over the company's ability to pay for future computing contracts if its revenue did not grow fast enough, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Shares of Oracle dropped 7.7 per cent to $159.80 before the bell. The AI cloud firm is reported to have signed one of the biggest cloud deals with OpenAI, amounting to $300 billion in computing power over a period of five years.
CoreWeave's shares slid 7.4 per cent to $104. The Nvidia-backed AI startup signed a $11.9 billion contract with OpenAI last month to provide AI infrastructure.
