Profit as a share of sales, from the company's own quarterly statements. The range covers the 5 quarters we hold, and the figure shown is its most recent one.
How these ranges are built
Every number here is the company's own reported figure, not a comparison with other companies. The ranges come from this company's own results and its share price. Where it reports in a different currency from the one its shares trade in, the price-to-earnings range is left out rather than mixing the two.
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.

Does CoreWeave, Inc. pay a dividend?
No - CoreWeave, Inc. doesn't currently pay a dividend, so the whole return would rest on the share price. Plenty of growing companies reinvest their profits instead of paying them out - neither approach is better or worse, they're just different.
Does CoreWeave, Inc. have more cash or more debt?
It holds about $2.27B in cash against about $35.15B of debt - so it has net debt of about $32.88B. Debt is not automatically a problem - it funds growth - but it has to be serviced and repaid, which matters more when profits wobble.
From the latest reported balance sheet. Cash and debt levels change, and some borrowing is normal - this is context, not a judgment.
What do CoreWeave, Inc.'s numbers mean?
How has it performed?
Growth of £1,000, the worst fall, and year by year
Over about 1 years to 2026-09-11. 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.
How much has CoreWeave, Inc. actually fallen?
Over the last 1 year of daily prices, CoreWeave, Inc. fell as much as −67% from a high to a later low. Falls like this are normal when you own a share.
Past falls are not a forecast - it can fall further, or recover.
