Overview
- Wells Fargo raised CoreWeave to Overweight from Equal Weight and lifted its price target to $170, citing demand that is outpacing supply.
- The bank increased its GPU-hour pricing assumption to $2.50 from $2.00, pointing to improved unit economics.
- CoreWeave’s backlog includes an $11.9 billion OpenAI capacity deal with up to $4 billion more through 2029 and a $6.3 billion Nvidia agreement to take unused capacity through 2032.
- Analysts see hyperscaler shortages persisting into early 2026, creating potential share gains as CoreWeave deepens ties with Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI.
- Revenue reached $1.21 billion in Q2 2025 versus $395 million a year earlier, though analyses flag dependence on Nvidia GPUs and a concentrated customer base as key risks.
