Core Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) is one of the 10 Stocks That Investors Are Dumping.

Core Scientific fell for a third day on Wednesday, shedding another 4.21 percent to close at $13.43 each as investor sentiment was dampened by news that it was being investigated by a shareholder law firm over its proposed sale to CoreWeave, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWV).

In a statement, former Louisiana attorney general Charles Foti, Jr., teamed up with law firm Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC to initiate a probe into Core Scientific Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) looming all-stock merger with CoreWeave.

Under the terms of the agreement, Core Scientific, Inc. (NASDAQ:CORZ) stockholders will receive 0.1235 newly issued shares of CoreWeave Class A common stock for each share of Core Scientific common stock based on a fixed exchange ratio.

“KSF is seeking to determine whether this consideration and the process that led to it are adequate, or whether the consideration undervalues the company,” the law firm said.
