CoreWeave (CRWV): Recontracting zombie GPUs out to 2029 [Q2 2026]
from Earnings Unscripted: Stock Earnings Calls & Analysis · host Miro Benes
While CoreWeave pours billions into new infrastructure, their unexpected Q2 2026 margin explosion was fueled by turning obsolete 2020 hardware into a cash-printing machine.In ~10 minutes:• How adjusted operating income exploded 509% sequentially to $128 million.• Why aging 2020-era A100 processors are being recontracted out to 2029.• How a new debt facility unlocks shorter high-margin enterprise deployments.• Why $640 million in quarterly interest expense threatens underlying operational profitability.The market punished the stock for margin fears last quarter, but rapid data center deployments quickly reversed the narrative. With infrastructure backlog climbing past $104 billion, pre-secured compute capacity is functioning like prime real estate. 🏗️CoreWeave (CRWV) | Q2 FY2026AI-assisted production.
