ℹ️ How are these calculated?
🎯 Investment Thesis
CoreWeave is the purest bet on enterprise AI compute demand. NVIDIA invested $2B at $87.20 — insider validation from the GPU maker itself. Revenue exploded +737% in FY2024 with a $55.6B backlog. Launched ARENA platform for production AI workload benchmarking, signaling platform stickiness beyond raw compute. Deutsche Bank upgraded to Buy ($140), DA Davidson upgraded to Buy ($110). At 49% below ATH ($187), the entry remains attractive despite the risk. Q4 earnings Feb 26.
⚠️ Key Risk
HIGHEST RISK in the AI universe. Net loss of -$938M. Microsoft was 62% of revenue — extreme concentration. Class action lawsuits pending. No path to profitability yet. Forward PE deeply negative (-431x). Mizuho and Macquarie only Neutral at $100-115. If hyperscalers cut back GPU leasing, the backlog evaporates.
By The Numbers
Event Impact
Pure-play GPU cloud. NVIDIA invested $2B at $87.20. $55.6B backlog. Revenue +737% FY2024.
No exposure to energy or defense.
No quantum relevance.
US-based infrastructure. Negligible China exposure.
$12.9B debt, deeply unprofitable. Highest rate sensitivity in AI universe. Higher rates crush ability to finance GPU fleet expansion.
GPU cloud facilities are massive power consumers. Grid constraints limit where CoreWeave can build.
No significant fiscal exposure.

Competitive Landscape
Smaller GPU cloud competitor
Hyperscalers dominate but CoreWeave is specialized
Company Background
Founded 2017 as Ethereum miner. Pivoted to GPU cloud when AI demand exploded. IPO March 2025 priced at $40, soared to $187, then crashed. NVIDIA partnership is the anchor.
