Meta's AI Infrastructure Strategy Sparks Concern for CoreWeave and Nebius Investors
Meta has expanded its AI infrastructure commitments with neocloud providers, signing an additional $21 billion deal with CoreWeave to bring total investment to $35 billion. Separately, Meta signed a potential five-year, $27 billion agreement with Nebius in March. However, recent reports suggest that Meta is now developing its own cloud business to sell excess AI computing capacity and has engaged in talks with Anthropic for up to $10 billion in leased computing power over two years. This shift raises questions about whether Meta will remain a customer or become a competitor to CoreWeave (CRWV) and Nebius Group (NBIS). Both companies are neocloud providers that build high-performance data centers powered by Nvidia GPUs. CoreWeave reported $2.07 billion in Q1 revenue with an $84 million net loss, while Nebius saw significant growth from $50.9 million to $399 million but still posted a $100.3 million loss. The evolving strategy of Meta could impact the market perception and future performance of CoreWeave and Nebius as investors assess whether these partnerships will continue or if Meta's new cloud ambitions pose a threat.
