CoreWeave Inc.’s quarterly profit forecast missed estimates as the company said it was bringing forward some spending to meet customer needs. The shares dropped as much as 11% in post-market trading.

Second-quarter operating income, excluding some items, will be $140 million to $170 million, the company said during its first earnings call. That fell short of the $192 million analysts were estimating.
