Bradley Sills has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight CoreWeave’s strong performance and strategic positioning in the AI infrastructure industry. The company reported a robust first quarter, surpassing revenue expectations by 16% due to improved returns on net assets and strategic timing of capital expenditures. Notably, CoreWeave secured significant contracts, including an $11.9 billion deal with OpenAI and a $4 billion expansion with a major AI enterprise, which are expected to bolster future revenues.
Despite a decrease in the Q1 RPO balance, this was attributed to timing issues, with adjustments indicating a substantial increase expected in Q2. Furthermore, while capital expenditures in Q1 were lower than anticipated, the full-year outlook significantly exceeds prior estimates, indicating strong future growth potential. The operating margin was slightly impacted by one-time IPO-related expenses, but excluding these, margins aligned with expectations. These factors, combined with CoreWeave’s position as a leading data center provider, underpin the Buy rating and the increased price objective of $76.
