CEO Michael Intrator says the global AI build-out requires capital on a scale rarely seen, but that he is on the “right side” of a generational change.
Contracts to supply computing power for artificial-intelligence calculations have become such a fixture of the craze that whole industries have begun reorganizing around them. AI suppliers say these arrangements give them unprecedented visibility into their future revenue, allowing them to wow investors with promises of bumper sales and profits ahead. Memory suppliers and their customers have sought out longer-dated deals in recent months.
Chip and AI-linked stocks have whacked in recent weeks after a sharp run-up, while inflation concerns, the U.S.-Iran conflict, and stretched valuations have also weighed on sentiment.

Elon Musk's SpaceX is in talks to provide the U.S. Department of Defense with access to data center capacity worth billions of dollars to run AI models, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. Such an agreement would extend the Pentagon's existing relationship with SpaceX, a key partner for rocket launches and satellite-based communications and missile tracking. According to the report, SpaceX employees have discussed plans to compete more directly with neocloud firms such as CoreWeave by selling computing capacity to AI customers at lower prices.
Meta Platforms is in talks to lease computing power to Anthropic in a potential deal worth as much as $10 billion over two years, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing three people with knowledge of the discussions. Such a deal would help Meta diversify beyond its core advertising business by generating new revenue from its infrastructure investments and directly pitting it against CoreWeave and Nebius, as growing adoption of advanced tools drive up the need for computing capacity. Anthropic had proposed the deal in June and Meta is considering it, the report said.

The DDTL is available until December 2026, with an u
Micron Technology has become a key artificial-intelligence trade bellwether. Now analysts are trying to game out what peak earnings will look like for Micron if the AI cycle continues. A Trivariate Research analyst team, led by Adam Parker, on Thursday called Micron “the most important stock in the market,” writing that shares of the memory-chip maker have become a “proxy for the AI cycle and risk-taking.”

AI cloud computing company CoreWeave is exploring the use of financial derivatives as a potential hedge against a future drop in memory and storage chip prices, according to a person familiar with the matter. To lock in supply amid soaring demand, thanks to a surge in AI infrastructure construction, cloud operators including CoreWeave have signed long-term agreements with memory and storage makers such as Micron and SanDisk. But the arrangement cuts both ways: it protects chipmakers from a downturn, but leaves cloud companies like CoreWeave exposed if prices fall and they are stuck paying well above the going rate.
