CoreWeave (CRWV) paid $14,117m in cash for property and equipment in the first half of 2026. Revenue over the same six months was $4,653m. What it spent is 3.03 times what it earned.

In plain terms

CoreWeave rents out computers used for artificial intelligence work. In the first half of this year it spent three times as much buying equipment as it took in from customers. Cash from the business did not cover it, so the rest came from borrowing and from selling shares. The company therefore grew a great deal in half a year.

FAQ

Can capital spending exceed revenue?

Yes. It is common where the building comes first and the earning later. The ratio between the two is set out in the subscriber section.

Where did the shortfall come from?

The gap between operating cash and capital spending is tabled in the subscriber section, together with the debt and equity raised over the same half.

How much did borrowings grow?

Total liabilities and lease obligations at the prior year end and at this quarter end are compared in the subscriber section.

Is collection slipping?

Receivables actually fell. Both balances are in the subscriber section.

Where can I check this myself?

On SEC EDGAR, open CoreWeave, Inc.'s 2026 second-quarter 10-Q (accession 0001769628-26-000366) and read the cash flow statement and balance sheet.
