Keith Weiss has given his Hold rating due to a combination of factors that reflect both the strengths and challenges faced by CoreWeave, Inc. On the positive side, the company has demonstrated impressive growth, with a significant revenue increase of 420% year-over-year in the first quarter. This growth is driven by the accelerated demand for their GenAI infrastructure, which has enabled them to exceed revenue expectations and raise their full-year revenue targets. Additionally, CoreWeave has secured substantial contracts, including a major deal with OpenAI, which positions them well for future growth.
However, there are concerns that temper the bullish outlook. The Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) balance has decreased, indicating potential challenges in sustaining long-term commitments. Furthermore, the rapid expansion and increased capital expenditures have led to higher interest expenses, which could pressure near-term free cash flow. These factors contribute to the Hold rating, as they suggest that while CoreWeave has strong growth prospects, there are risks that investors should consider before making a decision.
In another report released on May 7, Wells Fargo also maintained a Hold rating on the stock with a $50.00 price target.
