CoreWeave, a specialized cloud infrastructure company, is experiencing significant growth driven by the escalating demand for AI and machine learning computing power. This surge has propelled its stock up by 78.65% year-to-date, with its GPU cloud services platform supporting businesses in training models and managing workloads. The company's operations span the U.S. and Europe, and it is headquartered in Livingston, New Jersey.
Amidst this expansion, CoreWeave secured an $8.5 billion delayed draw term loan facility in March, which received strong ratings from Moody's and DBRS. This funding is crucial for continued expansion of its AI facilities. The company has forged key partnerships, including a longstanding relationship with Nvidia and collaborations with Anthropic and Meta, with a notable long-term AI capacity deployment deal with Meta valued at approximately $21 billion through December 2032.
CoreWeave reported substantial revenue growth, with a 167.9% year-over-year increase to $5.13 billion last year, and a revenue backlog reaching $66.80 billion by December 31, 2025. For the current year, the company anticipates $12 billion to $13 billion in revenue and $900 million to $1.10 billion in adjusted operating income. Despite anticipated losses per share in 2026 and 2027, Wall Street analysts maintain a largely positive outlook, with a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating and many recommending 'Strong Buy'.
