CoreWeave股价再度遭遇重挫,本周累计跌幅已扩大至25%。该公司面临的部分困境在于,其数据中心及所搭载英伟达芯片的融资主要依赖债务。截至6月,这家云计算公司的无担保票据被标普全球评级给予“B”级评级,稳稳落在垃圾级区间。在最近一季的申报文件中,CoreWeave资产负债表上列示的总债务高达356亿美元,此外还有数十亿美元与数据中心房东之间的租赁义务。“它们某种程度上代表了AI交易中的次级档,”D.A. Davidson科技分析师Gil Luria如此评价,他一直对CoreWeave依赖债务驱动的商业模式持批评态度。Luria援引该公司最新业绩指出,当季调整后营运利润为1.28亿美元,这意味着年度调整后利润约为5.12亿美元。他将这一数字与CoreWeave在不动产及设备方面的467亿美元净资产进行对比,该数字反映了公司对AI基础设施的资本投入规模。两者相除,隐含的投资回报率仅为1%。Luria认为,鉴于CoreWeave以9%或更高的利率借贷来为其投资融资,其收益必须大幅改善,银行才会继续安心向其放贷。
