Over about 1 years to 2026-07-31. This is the share price only; any dividends would add to it. And it's the USD return - as a UK investor your actual £ return also moves with the exchange rate. Past performance is not a guide to the future, and it could just as easily have fallen.

The bull case

CoreWeave becomes a dominant utility for AI

The bear case

Technological shift makes current hardware redundant

What does CoreWeave, Inc. do?

Think of CoreWeave as a digital landlord for the AI age; they own massive warehouses full of powerful computer chips and rent that processing power to companies building AI. Clients pay for the time they spend running this hardware, and that usage is what earns the company its cash. Their fortunes hinge on whether they can keep growing revenue fast enough to eventually turn today's losses into a profit.
