CRWV的高杠杆与负自由现金流带来债务市场关闭的风险，从而阻碍其盈利性的AI扩张。

另一家属于同一类别的公司是Korwef。你可能会注意到，这些公司在人工智能领域被排在第二梯队；它们不是那种产生数千亿美元经营性现金流的巨头公司。
Another company that falls under the same category is Korwef. You may notice that these companies are ranked in the second tier in the field of artificial intelligence; they are not giant companies that generate hundreds of billions of dollars in operating cash flow.
诚然，它的自由现金流可能有些为负，但它能够通过经营性现金流为其大部分项目提供资金。就Oracle和CoreWave而言，我们谈论的是将不得不借债的公司。
It is true that its free cash flows may be somewhat negative, but it is able to finance most of its projects through operating cash flows. With Oracle and CoreWave, we are talking about companies that will have to borrow.
CoreWave是一家市值高达470亿美元的公司，而其过去十二个月的收入不超过76亿美元。我们面临与Oracle类似的挑战。
CoreWave is a company with a huge market value of $47 billion, while its revenues over the past twelve months do not exceed $7.6 billion. We face similar challenges to those we face with Oracle.
在上一季度，即2026年第二季度，其现金余额为55亿美元，但仅在该季度，其负自由现金流就达57亿美元。这是由于人工智能领域的大规模扩张，以及该公司投入的巨额资本支出。
In the last quarter, the second quarter of 2026, its cash balance was $5.5 billion, but in that quarter alone, its negative free cash flow was $5.7 billion. This is due to the massive expansion in the field of artificial intelligence, and the huge capital expenditures that the company invests.
而令人意外的是什么？资产负债表上的债务规模在不断增加。让我们比较一下这些债务，即短期和长期债务，总额达350亿美元。
And the surprise? The size of the debt on the balance sheet is constantly increasing. Let's compare these debts, which are short-term and long-term debts, amounting to $35 billion.
所有这些债务最终会被偿还吗？我们从数字中还看不到这一点。投入资本回报率为负。与Oracle一样，它们通过签订合同来建设这些项目，有些是长期的，有些是短期的。因此，你承担着两种风险。
所以，你在说：“我们能够为长期合同执行这个项目，但如果短期内AI租赁价格下跌怎么办？”你承担这一风险，而借贷成本持续上升。
Will all these debts eventually be paid off? We don't see that in the numbers yet. Negative return on invested capital. As with Oracle, they build these projects by signing contracts, some long-term and some short-term.
Therefore, you are taking two risks. So, you're saying, "We'll be able to carry out this project for long-term contracts, but what if the price of renting AI drops in the short term?"
You take this risk, and borrowing costs continue to rise.
这是Coreweave的8.5%债务，于2026年6月发行。利率已从8.5%上升至如今的超过12%。也就是说，债务市场的资本成本超过12%。
This is Coreweave's 8.5% debt, which was released in June 2026. The rate has increased from 8.5% to over 12% today. That is, the cost of capital in debt markets exceeds 12%.
与它提供的Oracle债务相比，这是一笔短期债务，因为它将在2032年到期，也就是仅六年。市场说：“我们需要巨大的回报才能把这笔债务给你。”
This is a short-term debt compared to the Oracle debt that it offered, as it will mature in 2032, i.e., for only six years. The market says, "We'll need a huge return to be able to give you this debt."
如果Oracle和Korwef的这种局面持续下去，它们将很难从所投入的资本支出中获利。最终，债务市场将对这两家公司关闭，到那时游戏就结束了。
If this situation continues for Oracle and Korwef, it will be difficult for them to make a profit from the capital expenditures they invest. Eventually, the debt markets will close to both companies, and then the game will be over.
