This Overlooked CoreWeave Disclosure Has Cantor Growing More Bullish — What Investors Need To Know

Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated its ‘Overweight’ rating on CoreWeave, with a price target of $167, implying an upside potential of about 44% from current levels.

• Cantor believes CoreWeave is on track to materially exceed Wall Street's backlog expectations for the quarter.
• The firm also estimates that CoreWeave could generate nearly $40 billion in new contract bookings during the second quarter, roughly matching the record level achieved in the first quarter.
• Cantor also believes CoreWeave has likely already secured about 90% of its targeted $30 billion annual recurring revenue goal for 2027.

Shares of CoreWeave Inc. (CRWV) rose in Tuesday's trading after Cantor Fitzgerald said investors may be overlooking a key disclosure that points to stronger contract growth and backlog momentum.

According to TheFly, Cantor Fitzgerald said a supplemental disclosure in CoreWeave's recent bond offering memorandum has been "largely ignored" by equity investors.

CoreWeave shares were up nearly 9% in Tuesday morning’s trade.

Why Is Cantor Bullish On CRWV?

Cantor Fitzgerald stated that CoreWeave disclosed a run-rate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) figure based on signed contracts, which Cantor used to assess the company's performance during the second quarter.

Based on that analysis, the firm believes CoreWeave is on track to materially exceed Wall Street's backlog expectations for the quarter.

Cantor also estimates that CoreWeave could generate nearly $40 billion in new contract bookings during the second quarter (Q2), roughly matching the record level achieved in the first quarter (Q1).

Looking further ahead, the firm believes CoreWeave has likely already secured about 90% of its targeted $30 billion annual recurring revenue (ARR) goal for 2027.

Given the company's contract momentum and revenue visibility, Cantor said the risk-reward profile remains attractive ahead of second-quarter earnings.

The firm reiterated its ‘Overweight’ rating on CoreWeave, with a price target of $167, implying an upside potential of about 44% from current levels.
