CoreWeave CSO Brian Venturo sells $542k class A stock

CoreWeave Chief Strategy Officer Brian Venturo sold 5,899 shares of Class A Common Stock, amounting to $542,000, on August 20, 2026. This sale occurred as CoreWeave shares fell by 16.5% over the past week, trading at $87.85, which was below Venturo's selling price of $91.88. The stock is considered undervalued by InvestingPro analysis.

To meet tax obligations related to the vesting of restricted stock units, Venturo sold the 5,899 shares. Simultaneously, he purchased 11,387 shares through RSU settlements, with each RSU entitling its holder to one share of CoreWeave's Class A Common Stock upon settlement. As of the filing, Venturo holds 241,371 shares and 159,415 restricted stock units directly.

Indirectly, his father-in-law owns 22,500 shares, and two trusts hold 82,679 and 82,687 shares for Venturo's minor child, with Venturo retaining the ability to alter the trustees. CoreWeave recently announced strong Q2 results, including the addition of nearly 500 megawatts of capacity, more than any other neocloud operator. The company also increased its fiscal 2026 guidance due to high demand.

Analysts view CoreWeave favorably, with Piper Sandler raising its price target to $155 and Bernstein SocGen Group to $74, despite maintaining differing ratings.
