Sentiment · FY2026 Q2
CoreWeave's first quarter of 2026 delivered record bookings of more than $40 billion, lifting contracted revenue backlog to $99.4 billion, and revenue of approximately $2.1 billion, up 112% year-over-year, as active power surpassed 1 gigawatt. New commitments included adding Anthropic, a $21 billion Meta agreement, and $6 billion of added Jane Street capacity, extending CoreWeave's reach across foundation labs and enterprise verticals. Profitability reached its expected trough, with adjusted operating income of $21 million at a 1% margin, net loss widening to $740 million from $315 million a year earlier, and interest expense rising to $536 million. Management reaffirmed full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $12 billion to $13 billion while raising the low end of CAPEX to $31 billion to $35 billion on higher component pricing. A landmark $8.5 billion investment-grade DDTL 4.0 facility, priced below 6%, marked a structural step down in cost of capital.
