CoreWeave Stock Update

CoreWeave CRWV announced on April 9 that it landed a $21 billion artificial intelligence cloud deal with Meta, running from 2027 to 2032. This is the largest deal CoreWeave has ever signed with a single customer, which brought Meta’s total CoreWeave commitment to over $35 billion.

Why it matters: Meta’s AI breakthroughs, including the new Muse Spark models, would exacerbate the demand/supply imbalance of the GPU compute market, benefiting neoclouds like CoreWeave. A month ago, Meta also signed a five-year, $27 billion deal with Nebius to support its AI ambitions.

• On the asset level, CoreWeave secured an investment-grade, $8.5 billion delayed draw term loan, or DDTL, facility at a 6% interest rate for capital expenditure purposes, underpinning our forecast 250-basis-point effective interest rate improvement in 2026 across its DDTL portfolio.
• The company also issued $1.75 billion senior notes and $3 billion convertible senior notes on the parent level to support its day-to-day operations, which is in line with our expectations. We believe CoreWeave’s total debt load should roughly double to $40 billion by the end of 2026.

The bottom line: We maintain our $97 fair value estimate for no-moat CoreWeave, as our base-case assumption already factored in sizable additional bookings from CoreWeave’s major customers like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta. Shares look fairly valued following April 9’s 4% intraday rally.

• When GPU compute demand outstrips supply, capacity delivery, rather than new bookings, would become the key factor that determines the growth of neocloud companies. CoreWeave’s capability to secure financing and GPU supply on time establishes customer trust for a bigger market share.
• Besides hyperscale deals, the enterprise market is also an important part of CoreWeave’s future growth. Our long-term revenue forecast of $60 billion by 2030 requires CoreWeave to land sizable enterprise customer bookings to facilitate proprietary model fine-tuning or inference.
