CoreWeave's growth story is real: $5.1B in revenue in 2025 and a $66.8B backlog. But the company is capital hungry, levered, and unprofitable. With $30-35B of capex guidance for 2026 and rising interest expense, the path to cash generation looks riskier than the headline backlog implies. This trade idea lays out a mid-term short for disciplined tra…
