We have news of rupture that cross the wire here. Core Weave, Ai Cloud de Core Weave to seek an iPo Number agreement of $ 2.7 billion. This here to come this morning. The size of the offer and the targeted evaluation are smaller than investors and bankers provided before the wider drop in stock markets hears optimism. All this is according to the reports that we arrive from Bloomberg. Recall now that Core Weave is an NVIDIA supported company and that current shareholders market actions from $ 47 to $ 55 each according to its file today with the SEC. Again, Core Weave and investors seeking to raise around 2.7 billion dollars in this first public offer with these actions marketed from $ 47 to $ 55. The company recorded a turnover of $ 1.9 billion in 2024. Brad, as you know, we talked about this company. He had chords with Openai, obviously supported by Nvidia. UM, it would not be surprising if he was listed on the Nasdaq. I think it should be listed on the Nasdaq given its technological trends here. Uh and this is something that AI investors have certainly monitored.

Yeah, absolutely. Some of the rapid facts here on the company. You mentioned the income. Revenues in fact for 2024 represent growth of 737% compared to 2023 here. You also think of a part of the margin of operating income, because this is what will be the most concentrated in the longer term on the cadence reports once they have finally reached the public foray here. 17% 2024 Operational income margin. From now on, generally for a company like Core Weave, you will see this compared to something that the rest of the industry uses as standard in this rule of 40 here. So, in a way, to look for this to finally reach UH and for the adjusted operating income margin sitting at 19%. Given how the rest of the industry generally uses this 40 rule as a type of guidance, we will see if this can ultimately get more than one standard execution rate over the next year of around 20%, then see how they can be composed in addition to this. And then, moreover, you think of the remaining performance obligations. This is what the company continues to work by UH via its contracts that it already has also here. $ 15.1 billion there. So all these things considered, the RPO is what you will hear. The adjusted operating income margin will more specifically focus on investors and analysts when the company becomes public and begins to obtain coverage around it. And then in addition, what the growth rate looks like. Currently, they have around 32 data centers. It will be interesting to see what type of investment they use funds raised in this IPO to really increase this.

Yes, certainly many additional companies also linked to it. I will quickly add for anyone worried about technological trade with many of these big technological names under pressure here. Microsoft is responsible for two thirds of the annual basic sales and Core obviously weaves annual sales large enough to allow them to have this IPO. About 77% of the company’s income from its two best customers in 2024 totaling $ 1.9 billion again.
