Update - April 9, 2026
CoreWeave could have a backlog approaching $90 billion now after signing a new $21 billion deal with Meta Platforms. The neocloud guided to Q1'26 revenue of up to $2 billion, so the backlog starting point is $85 billion plus what additional unannounced deals contribute to the backlog.
-CoreWeave shares rose 7% in premarket trading Thursday after the company announced an expanded long-term agreement with Meta Platforms (META) to provide AI cloud capacity through December 2032, valued at about $21B.
-The deal builds on an existing partnership and will support Meta’s AI development, with the company using CoreWeave’s platform to scale inference workloads.
-The two firms first partnered last year, when Meta committed up to $14.2B through 2031, with an option to expand the agreement through 2032.
