Core Scientific, Inc. (CORZ)
Core Scientific: Why Smart Money Is Betting Big On This AI Infrastructure Play
CoreWeave's acquisition of CORZ transforms it into a key AI infrastructure play, locking in power assets and slashing costs for long-term growth. Multi-billion-dollar contracts with OpenAI and Google provide real revenue visibility, shifting CORZ from speculative crypto to high-margin, recurring AI cash flows. Options flow, GEX, and dark pool data all point to bullish institutional sentiment, supporting a structured $15/$20 call spread for risk-defined upside exposure.
CoreWeave: Market Hates A Good Deal
CoreWeave's acquisition of Core Scientific aims to verticalize data center ownership and cut $500 million in costs by 2027. The deal gives CoreWeave direct control over data center assets, enabling faster, tailored AI infrastructure deployments and improved cost efficiency. Despite operational benefits, the market reacted negatively, with CoreWeave shares dropping and the deal value for Core Scientific shareholders declining.
CoreWeave: Core Scientific Buyout Changes Everything
CoreWeave's buyout cuts $10B+ lease costs and secures 1.3 GW+ of owned high-density AI data center capacity. The merger locks $25B+ in 12-year take-or-pay contracts, including milestone OpenAI and IBM deals. CoreWeave's Q1 revenue grew 420% YoY to $981.6M, with $606.1M EBITDA and strong 62% margin expansion.
CoreWeave: Everyone Hates The Core Scientific Deal; We Don't (Rating Upgrade)
We're upgrading CoreWeave back to a buy after its strategic all-stock acquisition of CoreScientific making use of its 300% stock appreciation since IPO. The deal unlocks cost savings, eliminates $10B in future lease overhead, and gives CoreWeave control over 1.3 GW of power capacity. CoreWeave is now buying rather than renting power capacity. Valuation remains premium but has come down since our sell call and is more attractive at current levels.
