Neocloud stocks have seen considerable pressure this year, but CoreWeave (NASDAQ:CRWV) just gave investors something to cheer about when it reported its third-quarter results. The sector has been hit with a trio of headwinds in 2026, which is why it may not be a good idea to chase the current rally.

First, the group was hit with questions about how the space will finance the current build-out, especially as interest rates have begun to rise. Second, IT consultant Gartner predicted that 80% of neoclouds would cease independent operations by 2030, as artificial intelligence (AI) revenue would not support the build-out and, with high financing costs, they would not generate sufficient returns on investment.

CoreWeave also raised its full-year revenue guidance, taking it to a range of $13 billion to $13.3 billion, as it expects more than 1.85 gigawatts (GW) of active power by year-end. It is projecting to end the year with run rate revenue of between $20 billion and $21 billion.

The company's backlog, meanwhile, rose 138% year over year to a record $132.5 billion.
