The company plans to move away from unsecured bond financing toward delayed draw term loans (DDTL) backed by customer contracts to secure more attractive interest rates. Looking forward, CoreWeave raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to up to $13.3 billion and expects adjusted operating income to reach approximately $1.3 billion. The company maintains strong liquidity, supported by significant customer prepayments and deposits.
