CoreWeave Beats Q1 Forecasts but Soft Q2 Outlook Pulls Stock Lower

Soaring costs with high interest bills test conversion of contracts into profit.

Overview

  • CoreWeave, which reported first‑quarter results Thursday, posted $2.08 billion in revenue that topped estimates and a $740 million net loss.
  • Management guided second‑quarter revenue to $2.45 billion to $2.60 billion, below the $2.69 billion Wall Street consensus, and the stock fell about 5% to 7% Friday morning.
  • The company’s contracted revenue backlog reached $99.4 billion after more than $40 billion in new customer commitments during the quarter.
  • Full‑year capital spending was raised to $31 billion to $35 billion after nearly $7 billion in Q1 outlays, and total debt stood at roughly $25 billion.
  • Contracted power capacity rose to about 3.5 gigawatts and 10 customers have $1 billion‑plus commitments, reflecting broad demand for its Nvidia‑based AI cloud.
