In CoreWeave, Inc.'s own words

“CoreWeave reached an important inflection point this quarter as our scale began to translate into expanding operating leverage. Customer demand is accelerating, as enterprise adoption broadens and we continue to deepen our technology platform”

— Michael Intrator, co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of CoreWeave · SEC filing

From the company's earnings release filed with the SEC on 2026-08-11 (Form 8-K).

What would change the picture for CRWV

These are the specific events and levels to watch. None of them is a prediction.

• The Nov. 9, 2026 earnings report (19 days away). CoreWeave, Inc. beat estimates in 2 of the last 4 quarters (average surprise +15.4%); a miss would break that pattern.
• Insider buying: none on the open market in 90 days. A purchase by an executive or director would be the first in at least three months, and it would show up on SEC Form 4 within two business days.
• Analyst ratings: the average score moved from 3.81 to 3.85 over three months (on a scale where 5 is strong buy and 1 is strong sell). A run of downgrades after earnings usually shows up here first.
• Price levels: a close above $139.93 would be a new 52-week high, 125.2% above the latest close of $62.13; a close below $60.82 would be a new 52-week low, 2.1% below it.
• Growth: revenue rose 115.3% year over year in the quarter ending Jun 2026 (trend: slowing).
• New shares: dilution risk is high now. A new shelf registration (S-3) or a prospectus supplement (424B) for an offering would raise it.

How CRWV compares with its peers

Over the past month CRWV ranks 2 of 6 in this group (-27.3%); the best was NBIS (-26.4%) and the weakest CIFR (-53.0%).

A dash in the P/E column means the company lost money over the last 12 months, so it has no P/E.
