To The Moon

You could buy 100 shares of $CoreWeave, Inc.(CRWV)$ for $6,077 today. Or you could buy a $50 call LEAP expiring January 21, 2028, for $2,665.

That gives you exposure to 100 shares with roughly 56% less upfront capital — and more than 435 days until expiration.

Here are the key details:

• Strike: $50

• Expiration: January 21, 2028

• Premium: ~$26.65 ($2,665 per contract)

• Breakeven: $76.65

At expiration:

• If $CRWV reaches $100, the LEAP returns approximately 88%.

• At $120, the return rises to approximately 163%.

• At $140, the return reaches approximately 238%.

By comparison, owning 100 shares purchased at $60.77 would generate a return of approximately 130% if the stock reaches $140.

Why I Like This Setup

• Revenue grew 168% to $3.66B last quarter, beating the $3.55B estimate. Adjusted operating income climbed to $379M, up from $217M a year earlier.

• Revenue backlog reached $132.5B, compared with $104B at the end of June.

• Management raised its 2026 revenue guidance to $13.0B–$13.3B and expects to exit the year at a $20B–$21B annual revenue run rate.

• CoreWeave says it is largely sold out of capacity through next year, with demand roughly 10 times greater than the capacity it can supply.

• The company expects approximately $9B in customer prepayments and deposits over the next three months.

• Shares jumped 24% today following earnings, but remain 56% below their 52-week high of $138.25.

• The 436-day expiration window covers four more earnings reports.

Know the Risk

The maximum loss on a LEAP is the entire premium paid. In this case, that's $2,665 per contract.

Options provide leveraged exposure, but they also carry time decay and can lose value quickly if the stock falls or simply fails to move higher.

Size the position accordingly. Only risk capital you can afford to lose entirely.
