Summary
CoreWeave stock jumped 19% Wednesday to $107.73 after its Q2 report showed revenue of $2.58 billion, slightly above consensus, and a backlog that climbed to $104 billion. The company added $25 billion in net new customer commitments in the early weeks of the current quarter, signaling sustained demand. The rally spread across AI infrastructure names, with Micron up 4.9% and IREN up 9.9%. CoreWeave also disclosed a near-full-price contract for older Nvidia A100 chips extending through 2029, a sign that even legacy GPUs are holding value. Bonds rallied too, with the 9% notes due 2031 tightening 0.8 percentage points in spread. This follows the Q2 earnings release on August 11 and the Nasdaq 100 inclusion in June. The stock's move reflects a shift in sentiment after months of AI bubble concerns.
