Reason
Freedom Capital analyst Paul Meeks initiated coverage of CoreWeave with a Buy rating and $100 price target. The firm says the stock's recent selloff "significantly overstates" the risk that CoreWeave will not not deliver its $56B multi-year revenue backlog. The company's payments from hyperscalers which are supporting its capital expenditures "are secure for several years," the analyst tells investors in a research note.

Reason
Goldman Sachs analyst Kash Rangan lowered the firm's price target on CoreWeave to $105 from $120 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. CoreWeave's Q3 results were strong on growth, margins, backlog, and lower-than-expected CapEx, but the stock fell sharply due to powered-shell delivery delays that trimmed the FY25 revenue outlook and raised execution concerns, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Even so, demand diversification, rising capacity, a surging backlog, improving financing conditions, and renewed/expanded contracts with major customers support a solid longer-term outlook despite near-term build-out risks, Goldman says.

Reason
Loop Capital lowered the firm's price target on CoreWeave to $120 from $165 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares. The firm is adjusting expectations to account for continued "deployment" lumpiness that may extend through 2026, the analyst tells investors in a research note. The main constraint remains powered shell availability, now viewed as an even greater bottleneck than power itself, limiting how quickly equipment can be deployed, though these challenges are logistical rather than reflective of weaker demand or technology fundamentals, the firm says.
