CoreWeave Raises 2026 Outlook to $13.3 Billion as Stock Rebounds From 52-Week Low

CoreWeave stock rose 7.9% to $52.58 in after-hours trading Tuesday after the company raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to $13 billion to $13.3 billion, rebounding from a 52-week low of $40.58 on November 5. Third-quarter revenue climbed about 168% year over year to $3.66 billion, above the company’s $3.45 billion to $3.60 billion forecast, while its $1.27 per-share net loss was narrower than analysts’ expected $1.45 loss, according to BeInCrypto. Revenue backlog increased to about $132.5 billion from $104 billion in June, and the adjusted operating income target rose to $1.275 billion to $1.375 billion. The quarter also showed mounting financing costs: net interest costs reached $846 million, up from $310 million a year earlier, while operating income was $207 million and the net loss was $709 million. CoreWeave expects fourth-quarter interest expense of $1.05 billion to $1.15 billion and now forecasts 2026 capital spending of $37 billion to $39 billion. CEO Michael Intrator said the company expects about $9 billion in customer prepayments and deposits within three months, while CFO Nitin Agrawal said it does not intend to issue more unsecured parent-level debt at current yields through 2027, though it plans debt tied to customer contracts in the coming weeks. The stock’s November 5 decline came amid a broader AI selloff, when the Nasdaq-100 fell 6.36%; Fundstrat’s Tom Lee linked the selloff to concerns that a Democratic Congress would curb AI spending.
