Summary
Fast Money examines the AI sell-off, with CoreWeave’s debt burden and rising borrowing costs triggering a rotation into defensive sectors and value stocks.

Additionally, the show covers Apple’s strong pre-orders for its foldable iPhone, the valuation gap between Walmart and Amazon, and Netflix’s leadership changes ahead of earnings.
