NVIDIA Invests $2B in CoreWeave for AI Data Center Expansion to 5GW by 2030
  • The deal builds on CoreWeave’s existing capabilities to deliver scalable AI workloads, expanding capacity while diversifying its client base and reducing dependency on a single supplier.

  • Industry context notes that risks include sustained demand for capacity and timely power delivery, with permitting, grid upgrades, and equipment lead times potentially slowing construction.

  • Profitability remains volatile; in late 2025 the company posted a Q3 net loss of about $110 million due to hardware depreciation and debt service, even as revenue surged.

  • CoreWeave CEO Mike Intrator welcomed the partnership and highlighted how the collaboration will leverage CoreWeave’s cloud, software, and operational strengths to enable efficient, reliable, and scalable AI workloads.

  • Risk considerations include regulatory scrutiny over AI energy use and market volatility; investors may hedge with options, monitor risk indicators, and use entry signals like RSI or MACD.

  • While critics warn of circular business models, Nvidia contends that demand for compute capacity remains enormous.

  • US export controls feature prominently, with recent approvals affecting H200 exports to China following lobbying by Nvidia’s leadership.

  • Investor sentiment remains bullish, with a split among analysts and strong hedge fund interest, though valuation concerns persist around approximately 10x 2026 projected revenue.

  • Management projects cumulative data-center revenue could approach $500 billion by the end of 2026, driven more by demand for hardware and infrastructure constraints than budgets alone.

  • Investors weigh the upside of expanded AI infrastructure capacity against risks if demand softens, which could impact CoreWeave’s financial position.

  • NVIDIA pledges a $2 billion stake purchase in CoreWeave to speed an AI data center expansion aimed at deploying more than 5 gigawatts of AI compute capacity by 2030, signaling a deeper integration into AI infrastructure beyond chip supply.

  • CoreWeave’s financials show rapid revenue growth, jumping from about $1.9 billion in 2024 to $8.2 billion in 2025, with gross margins around 45% but near-term profitability pressured by depreciation and debt service, and a backlog of roughly $55.6 billion.
