Structural read: the smallest listed neocloud, and the only one whose equity case is a financing question rather than an operating one. 44B GPU procurement agreement with $DELL against a de-SPAC balance sheet. The stock prices whether a company this small can fund a billion-plus of hardware without the dilution eating the equity first.
$CRWV answers the same question with contract-secured debt and a ~$99B backlog; Boost Run has roughly a hundredth of the scale and none of the debt capacity, which puts it at the high-beta tail of the neocloud complex rather than in its middle.
The eleven weeks since listing have been the financing question playing out in public rather than being resolved. The equity has round-tripped from $10 to $42 and back toward the high teens, and the company has been raising into it: the July 2026 public-warrant redemption call converts warrant overhang into cash at the cost of new shares, which is the dilution leg of the same trade.
2B it carried at listing.
- $940M contracted backlog plus the Dell supply agreement de-risk demand and hardware access at the same time.
- Warrant exercise brings in cash without a marketed offering or a negotiated debt covenant, on terms fixed at the de-SPAC.
- ~85% gross margin on the services line; revenue growing off a base small enough that a single contract moves it.
- Compliance posture (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, ISO 27001/27701) targets regulated workloads the larger neoclouds underserve.
- The financing gap is still the whole thesis. Cash was ~$9.7M at year-end 2025 against a $1.44B commitment, and warrant proceeds do not close a gap of that size.
- Leverage is extreme even for the cohort, and the interest cost lands before the backlog converts to revenue.
- Operating and net margins are deeply negative while the backlog is being built, so growth and losses scale together.
- De-SPAC mechanics persist: micro-float, lockup expirations, and warrant-driven share creation on a book thin enough to gap on any of them.
- Backlog customer concentration is undisclosed. One contract slipping would move the model, and there is no public way to see it coming.
- Sector derating risk: hyperscaler in-sourcing and custom silicon pressure the whole $CRWV / $NBIS complex, and the smallest balance sheet derates hardest.
Taxonomy: mapped to the hyperscalers bubble and to the neoclouds THEME. 768 filed this row pending a future "Neocloud / GPU-as-a-Service" bubble; migration 789 settled that question the other way, tracking neoclouds as an editorial theme because the listed basket beta-drifts into semiconductors and datacenter-power.
The bubble mapping is final, not provisional.
