CoreWeave (CRWV) shared news of a smaller-than-anticipated loss in the third quarter, with revenues surpassing Wall Street predictions amid increasing demand for artificial intelligence computing. On Monday, investors reacted to the results, evaluating both the magnitude of the loss and a crucial growth metric: sales growth.
After the market closed, CoreWeave disclosed its earnings for the third quarter, showing a loss of 22 cents per share, down from a loss of $1.82 per share during the same quarter last year. Sales were impressive, soaring 133% to reach $1.365 billion. Analysts had predicted a loss of 40 cents with sales projected at $1.286 billion.
CoreWeave functions as a cloud computing service provider, prominently utilizing Nvidia’s (NVDA) Artificial Intelligence Accelerator.
The company’s remaining performance obligations (RPO) now stand at $55.6 billion, a substantial leap from $30 billion in the prior quarter.
RPO is crucial as it reflects the total future revenue anticipated from customer contracts that have not yet been completed. Cloud companies can only recognize revenue once services are delivered.
On the stock market, CoreWeave’s shares dipped over 1% to $104.01 in after-hours trading. Interestingly, the stock had surged 160% in 2025 leading up to the earnings announcement. It reached an all-time peak of 187 on June 20th.
CoreWeave, along with other cloud infrastructure firms, primarily leases computer servers powered by Nvidia chips for building AI models and developing applications. Its data centers are specifically designed for high-velocity AI workloads. Notably, Nvidia holds a 7% stake in CoreWeave and acts as a strategic partner.
The company has also recently finalized an acquisition deal. Core Scientific (CORZ) was involved in all-stock trading. Earlier this year, CoreWeave raised $1.5 billion during its IPO in March.
