CoreWeave\u2019s cloud infrastructure trained a massive model known as DeepSeek-V3 in a blistering 2.02 minutes. It\u2019s an impressive feat, a clear signal that its technology is at the bleeding edge of the AI arms race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">But that\u2019s not what had traders hitting the buy button.<\/p>\n<p>      <b>A Whisper Louder Than A Press Release<\/b>    <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">While the engineers were celebrating, Wall Street was listening to a different story, courtesy of an analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald. The call was simple: investors are \u201cWoefully Undervaluing\u201d CoreWeave. The reason? The sheer scale of business the company is winning. According to the analyst, CoreWeave signed an incredible $40 billion in long-term contracts in the first quarter of this year. Even more startling was the suggestion that it \u201ccould sign another $40 billion in Q2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Let\u2019s put that in perspective. This is a company with a market capitalization of about $61.7 billion. It\u2019s pulling in contracts that could soon eclipse its entire valuation, all while its revenue is already growing at 129.9% year over year. Of course, that growth comes at a cost; the company is still posting negative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trefis.com\/data\/companies\/CRWV?from=CRWV-2026-06-17&amp;source=yahoo#financials\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:current operating margins of -2.6%;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;current operating margins of -2.6%&quot;}\" class=\"link \">current operating margins of -2.6%<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The technology is clearly world-class, and the demand is immense.
