CoreWeave:一场价值数万亿美元的盛宴
美股研究社· 2025-10-14 12:30
Core Viewpoint - The integration trend of large language models (LLM) and reinforcement learning (RL) is accelerating the development of "autonomous agents," which are AI systems capable of making decisions and executing tasks. CoreWeave is positioning itself as a core cloud service provider that can meet the demands of a reinforcement learning-driven future, making it a high-certainty target for the next phase of AI infrastructure [1]. Business Expansion - CoreWeave's business coverage is rapidly expanding, allowing it to push its infrastructure and services to more markets and enterprises, laying the foundation for scalable services in the agent era [2]. Transition to Agent Operation Platform - The acquisition of OpenPipe is a key move for CoreWeave to break into the "upstream of the value chain." OpenPipe's core competency is a "reinforcement learning toolkit" that enables developers to train agents and adapt models to new task requirements [4]. Technological Integration - CoreWeave is transforming from a "hardware layer + API interface" to a "full-cycle support platform for agents," representing a qualitative change in its service offerings [5]. Demand and Profitability - The workload related to agents is growing exponentially, leading to a continuous surge in computing power demand. In-house reinforcement learning tools and runtime services are expected to significantly expand profit margins [6]. One-Stop Solution - CoreWeave integrates various functionalities into its technology stack, forming a "one-stop solution" for developers, which will become a core dependency for clients over time, creating a competitive barrier [7]. Infrastructure Requirements - The infrastructure requirements for agents are significantly more complex than traditional AI inference, necessitating high-throughput system interconnects, fast memory, rollback architectures, and real-time monitoring capabilities [9]. Market Growth Potential - The computing power consumed by agent AI is expected to be several orders of magnitude greater than traditional "static inference." The global data center spending on computing power is projected to rise from "hundreds of billions" to "trillions" in the coming years [11]. Competitive Advantage - CoreWeave, as a leader among "AI-native new cloud vendors," is poised to capture a significant share of the trillion-dollar market, benefiting from its first-mover advantage in reinforcement learning training [12]. Revenue Growth - CoreWeave's quarterly sales surged by 200% year-on-year to approximately $1.21 billion, with a backlog of nearly $30 billion, indicating strong long-term demand for its services [14]. Market Valuation - CoreWeave's valuation is currently comparable to its GPU-intensive cloud service peers, with a forward EV/Sales ratio of about 5-6 times. If the platform business revenue share increases to 30%, the enterprise value could approach $120 billion [20].

特斯拉创纪录销量难改背后“隐忧”
美股研究社· 2025-10-13 12:32
Core Viewpoint - Tesla is considered to be significantly overvalued despite a recent surge in stock price and record delivery numbers, driven by a one-time demand spike due to expiring tax incentives [1][15]. Delivery Performance - In Q3 2024, Tesla achieved record vehicle deliveries close to 500,000 units, with energy deployment also reaching new highs [4]. - The delivery volume exceeded production by over 10%, indicating a rush from consumers to purchase vehicles before the tax incentive expiration, which is a temporary demand factor [5]. - Year-over-year production decreased by several percentage points, suggesting a contraction in the company's fundamentals [5]. Financial Performance - Tesla's financial performance remains weak relative to its valuation, with total automotive revenues showing a 16% year-over-year decline [8]. - Total revenues for Q3 2024 were $25.2 billion, down 12% year-over-year, while total gross profit also fell by 15% [8]. - The company's free cash flow yield is only 0.4%, with approximately 45% of the past 12 months' free cash flow generated in the latest quarter, raising concerns about future cash flow sustainability [8]. Market Position and Risks - Experts believe Tesla has reached a market ceiling, with no sales growth since 2023 and a declining market share, particularly in Europe [9]. - The performance of Tesla's other models, including the Cybertruck, remains weak, indicating a lack of growth outside its core offerings [5][9]. Autonomous Driving and Robotics - Tesla's full self-driving (FSD) technology has not met its 2018 targets and lags behind competitors like Waymo, which has achieved significant milestones in autonomous driving [11]. - The robotics business, while difficult to value, does not provide a substantial basis for Tesla's current market valuation, even if it were valued at double that of its competitor Figure AI [12]. Conclusion - The current market environment poses challenges for Tesla, with expectations of low single-digit growth and potential further business contraction, raising concerns about its high valuation [12][15].

美股到底是机构主导,还是散户在炒?
美股研究社· 2025-10-11 09:31
Core Viewpoint - The dominance of retail investors in the U.S. stock market is undergoing a historic shift, with significant implications for market dynamics and structure [4][16].

AMD 与 OpenAI 合作:破解 AI 行业循环投资风险的差异化路径
美股研究社· 2025-10-11 09:31
当前 AI 行业的投入远超过终端产品的变现能力,行业内越来越多的 "循环投资" 正引发人们 对潜在系统性风险的担忧,AMD 近期与 OpenAI 的合作,因投资闭环生态的扩大,进一步加 剧了这种担忧。 但仔细分析会发现, 两者合作结构和行业内常见的循环投资模式有本质区别,这种差异化设计 有望帮 AMD 规避当前 AI 投资结构中的 "持续性风险",同时保住其股价近期获得的上涨空 间。 有个经典说法:A 借给 B 1 美元,这 1 美元能撬动更大经济规模并创造额外价值。比如 B 用 这 1 美元向 C 买东西,C 再用它继续流通,原本 1 美元的现金经多层交易,市场流通资金总 量会变大,推动经济扩张。 这就像 "自我强化" 的经济扩张循环,但天生有漏洞,比如 B 还不上 1 美元,循环可能崩 掉。 现在 AI 行业里,芯片厂商、超大规模科技公司和 AI 初创企业之间,也出现了类似的 "循环投 资" 且愈发明显。 这些合作本质是 "循环关系",初始资金在股权和 "双向采购协议" 里反复流转, 理论上能推 动 AI 研发落地,但问题在于当前 AI 行业 "变现速度" 远跟不上 "投入膨胀速度"。 像英伟达持有重要客 ...
