    CoreWeave Scales Footprint to 51 Centers and 250k GPUs Amid Stock Reset

    Question

    CoreWeave Scales Footprint to 51 Centers and 250k GPUs Amid Stock Reset

    Direct answer

    Specialized cloud compute provider CoreWeave disclosed operational data showing an installed base of 51 data centers powered by more than 250,000 Nvidia graphics processing units. The provider maintains long-term capacity agreements with major generative AI developers including OpenAI, Microsoft, and Meta. Despite rapid capacity expansion, the stock has repriced lower by 53% from its record level of $183.58 set in June 2025 to $86.00, reflecting broader public and private market valuation scrutiny over AI compute payback cycles and debt service costs.
