## Elevator Pitch

- CoreWeave has a massive, fast-growing $55.6 billion backlog providing over four years of revenue visibility, but realizing this depends on timely infrastructure buildout and execution.
- Execution is faltering as data center construction delays have already forced revenue guidance cuts and may continue to undermine management timelines.
- FY26 capex is expected to be well over double FY25 levels, creating a funding gap that likely requires additional equity or debt, raising dilution and leverage risks.
- I find CoreWeave's 12-year server useful life assumption versus 6 years for peers very hard to believe. If I'm right, this understates future maintenance and replacement capex needs.
- CRWV now trades at a discount to data center peers, offering some valuation upside risk, but technical trends and fundamental concerns currently outweigh the bullish reasons.
