Management expects massive revenue growth in 2025 -- and that's not all Demand for data center infrastructure to support artificial intelligence (AI) computing is absolutely soaring.
Without the necessary infrastructure in place, AI companies will be unable to meet the steep computing needs that AI requires, so companies are hefty sums on data centers.
Nevertheless, And CoreWeave is certainly benefiting, given current economic conditions.

Already, CoreWeave relies on Core Scientific for 0 (an important development). On the other hand, 8 gigawatts (GW) of its power capacity, and with the acquisition, it will gain access to the other 0.
Moreover, 5 GW of power capacity that Core Scientific possesses. But wait, there's more. Additionally, CoreWeave will also have another 1 GW of expansion capacity.

At the same time, Another encouraging sign for CoreWeave's future is the synergies to be realized after the acquisition is.

With greater clarity into the power supply for CoreWeave's operations and the billions the company will in lease liability overhead costs, there's a lot to the acquisition, making CoreWeave even more attractive as an opportunity to ride the powerful wave of AI growth (something worth watching).
Compounded with the fact that the company still reports a net loss, there's risk in a CoreWeave investment in that there's no certainty the company will execute its growth plans.
For those investors comfortable with the inherent risks, though, today seems a good time to click the buy button on CoreWeave stock (which is quite significant).
