Deutsche Bank Issues Short-Term 'Buy' on CoreWeave, Citing Surging AI Compute Demand

Analysts frame the call as a near-term trade driven by scarcity in AI infrastructure.

Overview

  • Brad Zelnick of Deutsche Bank placed a short-term “Catalyst Call: Buy” on CoreWeave on September 15 while keeping a long-term Hold rating.
  • The research note says AI infrastructure demand appears almost insatiable and is likely to outstrip supply in the near to medium term.
  • Deutsche Bank highlights meaningful powered shell capacity set to come online over the next 12 to 18 months that is not yet contracted.
  • Near-term potential drivers include CoreWeave’s upcoming Q3 report, possible new customer agreements, and incremental datacenter capacity.
  • The firm says “positive factors” could support higher revenue estimates for the next quarter or two for CoreWeave, which trades on Nasdaq as CRWV.
