CoreWeave: Market Takes Away, Market Gives Back
Update - Sept. 19, 2025
As predicted, CoreWeave has started recovering after the irrational sell off heading into the lock-up expiration. The stock is back to $125 now and Loop Capital just initiated the stock with a $165 price target based only on a 10x '27 EBITDA target of $12.8 billion. The firm forecasts '27 revenues of $17.9 billion.
The stock is probably an easy ride back to prior highs with booming AI data center demand.

Update - Aug. 27, 2025
CoreWeave has seen the momentum change with the Cantor buy rating and $116 price target. The lock-up expiration flush should be over.

- CoreWeave, Inc.'s stock collapse post-acquisition and early lock-up creates a compelling buying opportunity below $100, flipping the original thesis.
- The AI Cloud company reported strong Q2 results with 210% revenue growth, $1B+ quarterly sales, and a record of $30.1B backlog, showing massive demand and scalability.
- Despite heavy capex and $11B of debt, CoreWeave has the large backlog and expanding customer based to handle the load.
- CRWV stock is cheap, now trading below 3x '27 sales targets due to strong AI data center growth and an expanding software/services, positioning CoreWeave for outsized future gains.
