CoreWeave, Inc. has faced a sharp sell-off due to execution delays, high-interest debt, and revised FY25 guidance.

Current valuations appear overly pessimistic, failing to account for potential backlog expansion and future contract wins.
CoreWeave, Inc. endures a turbulent quarter but retains a Strong Buy rating due to intact AI tailwinds and positive forward catalysts. CRWV operational setbacks, including delayed data center buildouts and a $200M revenue shortfall, have pushed CY25 revenue guidance down to ~$5.1B. Despite skepticism, CoreWeave trades at a depressed ~5x CY26 revenue multiple, with a $55B backlog and 135% projected revenue growth for CY26 paving the way for >26% upside.

I am initiating coverage with a buy rating, driven by extraordinary revenue growth and a unique role in the AI GPU ecosystem. CoreWeave posted 134% YoY revenue growth and a 61% adjusted EBITDA margin, but faces margin compression and high leverage with $16 billion net debt. The company's $55.6 billion revenue backlog and supply-constrained AI market support continued high growth, though execution risks and debt remain material.
SuRo Capital remains a hold as AI-driven gains face headwinds from CoreWeave's dip and broader risk-off sentiment in AI. CRWV's sharp decline limits near-term returns, capping upside despite SuRo's resilient NAV per share and continued dividend distributions.
