CoreWeave, a neocloud that rents out the computing power behind AI, reported third-quarter results on Tuesday. It said it is asking customers to pay up front, borrowing against specific contracts, and pursuing short-term deals that could lead to higher prices [2].
The company reported $3.66 billion in revenue, up 168% from the year prior, along with a $709 million net loss and $846 million in quarterly interest expense [2].
CEO Michael Intrator said on the earnings call: "We will not use the unsecured debt market to fund our business at current yields, nor do we need to." The plan is to rely on loans backed by specific customer contracts to finance most of the infrastructure still to be built for a backlog of $132.5 billion [2].
TechCrunch noted that these approaches could help finance growth more efficiently, but only if current demand and pricing power continue [2]. Headlines from CNBC and Yahoo Finance refer to a Nasdaq gain and rising S&P 500 and Nasdaq futures [1][3].
