CoreWeave's Crash Looks Like 2008. Here's Why It Isn't.

One chart and one five-letter reply ("Yikes") sent AI stocks into their longest losing streak since 2008, with CoreWeave's bond yield touching 15% and roughly $1.6 trillion knocked off chip stocks. Ejaaz breaks down what actually happened: how neoclouds like CoreWeave borrow to build data centers, why the market got spooked, and whether credit default swaps are really pricing a coin flip.

Then the bear and bull case: debt coming due, customer concentration and the "bank of Nvidia" on one side; demand sold out past 2028, rising GPU rents and a power bottleneck that slows the build-out on the other. It looks like 2008. Here's why it isn't.
