# Meta's Latest $21 Billion Move Could Help De-Risk CoreWeave's Growth: Analyst

**JP Morgan** analyst Mark R Murphy said **CoreWeave, Inc.’s** (NASDAQ:CRWV) expanded agreement with **Meta Platforms Inc**. (NASDAQ:META) represents a significant step in scaling AI infrastructure, while flagging both upside potential and execution risks.

Murphy reiterated a Neutral rating on CoreWeave with a $90 price forecast on Thursday.

## $21 Billion AI Expansion

Murphy pointed to Meta's roughly $21 billion incremental commitment to CoreWeave, on top of a prior $14 billion agreement, extending through 2032. He said the deal includes early deployments of **Nvidia Corp.’s** (NASDAQ:NVDA) Vera Rubin platform, underscoring continued investment in next-generation AI infrastructure.

## Shift Toward Inference

Murphy noted the agreement's emphasis on inference workloads, signaling Meta is scaling AI models in production rather than focusing solely on training. He added that the deal modestly diversifies CoreWeave's customer base beyond key clients such as **Microsoft Corp.** (NASDAQ:MSFT) and **OpenAI**, although Meta remains a major customer.

## Growth Tailwinds, Execution Risks

Murphy said the scale of the agreement could support CoreWeave's long-term revenue trajectory and reduce uncertainty around projected run-rate targets.

“In our view, an order of this magnitude could help to de-risk the out year revenue trajectory and support the exit annualized run rate levels the company had outlined last quarter,” the analyst said.

However, he warned that industry-wide constraints in power availability and interconnect capacity remain key risks. He also noted the stock could remain volatile and sensitive to broader macro conditions.

## Price Action

CoreWeave shares rose 12.7% to $103.68, while Meta Platforms gained 0.5% to $631.55 at the time of publication Friday, according to Benzinga Pro data.
