Şunun için etiket arşivi: GPU infrastructure

CoreWeave (CRWV.O), a cloud infrastructure company backed by Nvidia, trimmed its annual revenue forecast on Monday after delays at a third-party data center partner disrupted operations, overshadowing strong quarterly results driven by soaring demand for AI computing services.

Shares fell more than 6% in extended trading, after Chief Financial Officer Nitin Agrawal forecast 2025 revenue between $5.05 billion and $5.15 billion, down from a previous estimate of $5.15 billion to $5.35 billion. Analysts had expected around $5.29 billion, according to data from LSEG.

CoreWeave said the customer impacted by the delay agreed to extend the contract’s expiration date, ensuring the total deal value remains intact, though the company did not name the client.

Despite the setback, the company posted a strong September quarter, with revenue more than doubling to $1.36 billion, beating Wall Street expectations of $1.29 billion.

CoreWeave has emerged as a major infrastructure provider for AI-driven workloads, securing high-profile contracts such as a $14 billion deal with Meta Platforms and a $6.5 billion partnership with OpenAI, both of which rely on its vast GPU-powered cloud network.

Once focused on Ethereum mining, CoreWeave has successfully repurposed its powerful GPU infrastructure to fuel the global AI cloud boom. However, its rapid growth has also exposed challenges — including rising chip prices, competition for computing capacity, and high expansion costs.

The company now expects to more than double capital spending next year, investing between $12 billion and $14 billion to meet surging demand.

CoreWeave shares have more than doubled since going public earlier this year at $40 per share, giving the firm a market capitalization above $50 billion, though its operating margin slipped to 16% in Q3 from 21% a year earlier.
