Elevator Pitch
- CoreWeave’s expanding backlog, sold-out near-term capacity, higher prices, and upward revenue revisions point to exceptionally strong FY2026 revenue growth.

- CoreWeave’s $37B annual capex plan exceeds current liquidity, making further debt, equity issuance, or other external financing necessary.

- CRWV remains range-bound, with bearish near-term price momentum leaving room for a decline toward technical support.
