CoreWeave's Q1 sales soared 127% year-over-year to $2.08 billion, topping estimates by $110 million, supported by a backlog climbing 49% to approximately $99.4 billion. Key deals with Meta, OpenAI, and Nvidia back the backlog. Despite a GAAP loss of $1.40 per share coming in slightly worse than expected, CoreWeave's data center buildout is progressing, with margins forecasted to improve through 2026.
