CoreWeave CEO Cancels Share Sale Plan After Strong Q3
CoreWeave CEO Michael Intrator told CNBC he has canceled his 10b5-1 stock sale plan, sidelining any further share sales unless there is a material change in equity pricing. He had previously sold 8.26 million shares at an average price of $96.14, totaling $794.2 million. The decision follows CoreWeave's Q3 earnings beat, with 168% year-over-year revenue growth, and an increased 2026 forecast. Intrator also downplayed the impact of the recent Democratic midterm sweep, which saw voters approve restrictions on data centers in 40 of 41 ballot measures, saying the company does not anticipate any impact from the regulatory shift. CoreWeave still targets 1.85 gigawatts of active power by end of 2026 and plans $37-39 billion in capital expenditures for the year.
CoreWeave's decision to cancel CEO stock sales signals confidence in AI infrastructure demand despite regulatory headwinds, but the broader policy shift on data center restrictions could impact the sector.

CoreWeave stock rises 14% as revenue doubles
CoreWeave shares jumped in premarket trading after the AI-infrastructure provider reported stronger-than-expected Q2 results and raised guidance. Revenue was $2.58 billion, up 112% year-over-year, and adjusted loss per share was $1.03 versus a $1.20 expected loss. Operating expenses more than doubled to about $2.6 billion, producing an operating loss of $49 million and a wider net loss of $626 million. Management reported a $104 billion revenue backlog (excluding more than $25 billion of recent commitments), 1.5 GW of active data-center power, and highlighted major customers and partners. It guided Q3 revenue of $3.4–$3.6 billion and full-year revenue of $12.4–$13.2 billion, flagged materially higher capital spending, and said regulatory headwinds and debt levels warrant caution even as several firms raised price targets.
CoreWeave's debt fears overblown; potential triple seen
CoreWeave reported strong Q3 2026 results, with revenue of $3.66 billion (up 168% YoY) beating expectations, though it posted a net loss of $709 million and quarterly interest expense of $846 million. The company raised full-year 2026 guidance to $13-$13.3 billion revenue and $1.275-$1.375 billion adjusted operating income. To finance its $132.5 billion backlog, CoreWeave is shifting to customer prepayments and contract-backed loans, expecting about $9 billion in prepayments over the next three months. It also closed a $2.6 billion loan in August for short-term contracts and raised prices by ~25% in July and another 10% later. Despite a 40% stock drop in the past month, shares rose 11% in premarket trading. Financing remains a concern with $35 billion debt and $15 billion principal payments due by 2028. Analyst Paul Meeks remains bullish with a $151 price target.
CoreWeave Sees Two Price Target Raises Ahead of Q1
Bank of America and Jefferies raised price targets on CoreWeave ahead of the company’s upcoming first-quarter earnings release. Bank of America increased its objective to $140 (from $120) and Jefferies raised its target to $160 (from $120), with both firms maintaining buy ratings. Analysts cited a growing pipeline of multibillion-dollar AI compute commitments — reported at more than $95 billion — including a $21 billion agreement with Meta and a $6 billion deal with Jane Street, plus an announced deal with Anthropic. Analysts and investors will watch revenue recognition, margins, buildout execution and power availability when CoreWeave reports results later this week. The stock has risen sharply year-to-date and RPO (remaining performance obligation) was cited at $60.7 billion last quarter.
