CoreWeave (CRWV): AI Neocloud Leader With Blackwell First-Mover Edge – and a Big Execution/Leverage Overhang

CoreWeave (CRWV) is an AI neocloud scaling quickly, but the stock is trading on execution and leverage, not demand. In Q3’25 it delivered $1.4B revenue (+134% YoY) and grew backlog to $55.6B, but powered-shell delivery delays pushed some revenue timing and forced a capex/growth cadence reset. Leverage remains a headline risk, and customer concentration is still meaningful, even as backlog diversification improves. We frame outcomes as Bear $50–$60 (30%) / Base $100–$125 (50%) / Bull $135–$165 (20%).

Alphabet in 2026: Full-Stack AI Engine, Heavy-Duty Capex

At around $314 per share (~$3.8T market cap, ~24x forward P/E), Alphabet is being priced as a durable AI platform, not a cheap “value tech” name. The question is whether Gemini 3, TPUs, and Cloud can grow into that valuation without margins getting crushed by the capex bill. GOOGL is a high-quality AI compounder with a real moat and real cash flow, but now firmly in “execution and capital-discipline” territory. Upside is still attractive if AI monetization scales as planned; downside shows up if AI Mode erodes Search economics or if capex outruns revenue.

The $105 Billion AI Bet: Is Oracle’s Bond Market Stress a Systemic Risk?

Oracle’s credit risk has sharply repriced, with its 5-year CDS spiking to the highest level since 2009—roughly tripling from mid-year—as investors hedge a debt-funded AI expansion with uncertain payback. Its balance sheet now resembles a leveraged AI infrastructure project, carrying about $105B in total debt and roughly $95B in U.S. bonds, making it the largest non-bank issuer in major indices; leverage is above 4× debt/EBITDA, and levered free cash flow is negative as capex surges. Rating agencies still keep Oracle investment grade but have moved outlooks to Negative, citing massive AI cloud commitments and sustained negative free cash flow. Across the AI complex, more than $200B in related bond issuance has come to market as hyperscalers and data-center operators raise capital aggressively. Systemic risk is creeping higher, but Oracle itself is viewed as a stress indicator—not a systemic trigger—in the emerging AI credit web.

The Magnificent 7 vs. The AI Infrastructure Play

The Magnificent 7 are expensive, cash-burning AI believers trading at 31-40x free cash flow while promising returns that might not materialize. A better bet is the companies selling them the shovels - the AI Infrastructure Compounders 7 (AIC-7), who are generating cash today while the hyperscalers burn through $417 billion this year alone.
