CoreWeave shares fell as much as 7% in extended trading on Thursday after the artificial intelligence-focused cloud infrastructure provider posted higher fourth-quarter revenue than Wall Street had expected.
Here’s how the company did in comparison with LSEG consensus:
- Loss per share: Loss of 89 cents.
- Revenue: $1.57 billion vs. $1.55 billion expected
CoreWeave’s revenue grew 110% year over year in the quarter, according to a statement.
It had 850 megawatts in active power capacity, while contracted power stood at 3.1 gigawatts at the end of the year. Analysts polled by LSEG had been projecting about 827 megawatts in active power.
The company said its revenue backlog swelled to $66.8 billion from $55.6 billion at the end of the third quarter.
CoreWeave’s 2026 capital expenditures totaled $10.31 billion, below Visible Alpha’s $12.90 billion consensus.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, at $898 million, came in below StreetAccount’s $929 million consensus.
The company reported $21.37 billion in debt as of Dec. 31.
AI has become a greater concern for software investors in recent weeks, with announcements from Anthropic leading to sharp selling.
CoreWeave supplies AI model makers such as Google and OpenAI, and its stock was up 36% so far in 2026 as of Thursday’s close, while the iShares Expanded Tech-Software Sector Exchange-Traded Fund is down nearly 22% in the same period.
During the quarter, CoreWeave announced a deal with model builder Poolside and introduced an object storage service. The company also said it increased a credit facility to $2.5 billion from $1.5 billion.
CoreWeave continues to be a specialist in cloud infrastructure, although the storage launch will help it compete with larger entities, such as Amazon Web Services.
Executives will hold a conference call to discuss the results and issue guidance starting at 5 p.m. ET.
