CoreWeave Stock Surges 16% on $14.2B Meta Deal
CoreWeave's stock market today surged, climbing as much as 16.4% following a significant order from Meta. As of noon ET, shares were up about 13%.
The agreement with Meta is substantial, committing up to $14.2 billion for iCloud computing capacity through 2031, with an option to extend to 2032. This deal follows a recent expansion of CoreWeave's partnership with OpenAI, worth up to $6.5 billion, also extending through 2031. These announcements underscore CoreWeave's growing influence in the AI sector, securing multibillion-dollar, multiyear deals with major players.
Meta's order helps CoreWeave diversify beyond its largest ecosystem relationships, providing high-end GPU iCloud capacity for years. However, investors should exercise caution. The capital-intensive, fast-paced stock market is subject to shifts due to supply chains, customer concentration, and hardware cycles. Future capacity ramps and market demand over the next five years remain uncertain.
CoreWeave's stock price has rebounded sharply following a string of high-profile contracts. Despite reporting losses and a market capitalization of $68 billion, the stock appears priced for perfection. While a lower price might make CoreWeave's stock an attractive investment, given its recent performance, it may be wise for investors to stay on the sidelines for now.
