Bank of America and Jefferies raise CoreWeave stock targets ahead of earnings

9 articles · Updated · CNBC · May 5
  • Bank of America lifted its target to $140 from $120 and Jefferies to $160, implying roughly 12% and 28% upside from Monday's close.
  • Analysts pointed to April deals with Meta, Anthropic and Jane Street, saying strong AI compute demand and execution on capacity, margins and power will be crucial in Thursday's first-quarter report.
  • CoreWeave shares are up 75% this year, with a deal pipeline above $95 billion and remaining performance obligations of $60.7 billion, though delayed data-centre buildouts could defer revenue recognition.
As insiders cash out billions, is CoreWeave's AI empire built on a solid foundation or a mountain of high-risk debt?
With power grids strained and communities resisting, can CoreWeave actually build the data centers its AI clients are paying for?
