Bullish LEAP call strategy on CoreWeave
Bullish+9.03%
AI Summary
The author presents a bullish investment thesis on CoreWeave, recommending a leveraged LEAP call strategy to capture upside while requiring less capital than buying shares outright.
You could buy 100 shares of $CRWV right now for $6,077.
Or you could buy the $50 call LEAP expiring January 2028 for $2,665. Leveraged exposure to the same 100 shares. ~56% less capital. Over 435 days of runway.
Strike: $50
Expiration: January 21, 2028
Premium: ~$26.65 ($2,665 per contract)
Breakeven: $76.65
At expiration:
If $CRWV hits $100, this LEAP returns ~88%
If $CRWV hits $120, this LEAP returns ~163%
If $CRWV hits $140, this LEAP returns ~238%
100 shares at $140 would return ~130%.
Why I like the setup:
- Revenue grew 168% to $3.66B last quarter, ahead of the $3.55B estimate, and adjusted operating income rose to $379M from $217M a year ago
- Revenue backlog hit $132.5B, up from $104B at the end of June
- Management raised 2026 revenue guidance to $13.0B to $13.3B and expects to exit the year at a $20B to $21B annual run rate
- CoreWeave says it is largely sold out of capacity through next year, with about 10x as much demand as it can supply
- It expects about $9B in customer prepayments and deposits over the next three months
- The stock jumped 24% today after earnings and still sits 56% below its 52-week high of $138.25
- 436 days of runway covers four more earnings reports
The max you can lose on a LEAP is the entire premium you paid. In this case, that's $2,665 per contract. LEAPs are leveraged and can lose value quickly if the stock drops or stays flat. Only size this so you're comfortable losing all of it.
Note: LEAPs are one tool inside a broader portfolio. Owning shares is always the primary use of capital. This is a selective add-on for high-conviction moments when conditions align.
