Shares of CoreWeave, Inc. (CRWV) surged 5.05% in Monday's pre-market trading session, as investors continue to react positively to the company's recent high-profile contracts and strong growth prospects in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector.
CoreWeave, a neocloud provider specializing in AI-optimized data centers, has been making waves in the tech industry with its dedicated GPU-as-a-service business model. The company's recent success is highlighted by a series of multibillion-dollar contracts from major players in the AI space. In September, CoreWeave secured a $6.5 billion contract from OpenAI, expanding their existing relationship and bringing the total contract value from the ChatGPT maker to $22.4 billion. This follows a $6.3 billion agreement with Nvidia and a $14 billion contract with Meta Platforms, further solidifying CoreWeave's position in the competitive AI infrastructure market.
The company's impressive growth trajectory and expanding order book are likely driving investor enthusiasm. CoreWeave reported a revenue backlog of $30.1 billion at the end of Q2, representing an 86% year-over-year increase. With the new contracts from OpenAI and Nvidia potentially adding nearly $13 billion to this figure, analysts anticipate CoreWeave may revise its 2025 revenue guidance upward from the current projection of $5.25 billion. The stock's surge today reflects growing confidence in CoreWeave's ability to capitalize on the booming demand for AI computing resources and its potential for continued rapid expansion in the coming years.
