I believe CoreWeave has proven that AI demand is real, but not yet that its business model can generate attractive returns. A $132.5 billion backlog looks impressive, yet contracts are not cash in the bank. The real challenge is converting them into revenue without continuously borrowing billions to build capacity.

What concerns me most is the mismatch between growth and financing costs: $3.66 billion in quarterly revenue, but $846 million in interest expense. That is a business growing fast with an expensive balance sheet.

My preference is NVIDIA over CRWV for now. NVIDIA sells the picks and shovels; CoreWeave must finance the entire mine. I'd rather wait for improving free cash flow and debt discipline before buying the rebound. AI demand is the opportunity; capital efficiency determines the winners.

# CRWV's revenue surged 168%, with orders exceeding $130 billion! Can it reverse pessimistic market expectations?
