Did CRWV Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
CoreWeave delivered a split verdict in its <a href="https://247wallst.com/investing/2026/05/07/live-will-coreweave-beat-q1-earnings-tonight/">first-quarter earnings report</a>, posting revenue of $2.08 billion, a 111.7% year-over-year surge that topped the $1.96 billion consensus by 5.80%, while its loss per share of $-1.40 fell short of the $-1.20 estimate by 16.26%, as the AI cloud infrastructure company's explosive growth came at a steep cost. The earnings miss traced directly to a dramatic widening of losses, with net loss reaching $740 million compared to $315 million a year earlier, driven by interest expense doubling to $536 million and depreciation and amortization surging to $1.15 billion as the company's capital expenditure program ballooned to $7.70 billion from $1.41 billion. Insider stock sales ahead of the print drew attention, though CoreWeave's fundamental growth story remained intact, anchored by a $99.40 billion revenue backlog that includes a $21 billion commitment from Meta. The company did not issue formal guidance in its press release, pointing investors to its earnings call for forward-looking commentary.
- More than doubling of revenue year-over-year driven by unprecedented demand for AI cloud infrastructure
- Revenue backlog reaching nearly $100 billion reflecting strong bookings momentum
- Surpassed 1 GW of active power, expanding contracted power to over 3.5 GW
- Multiple large customer agreements including $21 billion Meta commitment
“This was the strongest bookings quarter in CoreWeave's history, with revenue backlog reaching nearly $100 billion. We surpassed 1 GW of active power and believe we are well on our way to more than 8 GW by 2030, having positioned our capital structure to scale with the opportunity ahead.”
