CoreWeave vs. Amazon: Which AI Infra Stock Has More Upside Right Now?
Both CoreWeave CRWV and Amazon AMZN, through the Amazon Web Services platform, provide cloud infrastructure tailored for AI workloads. CoreWeave provides specialized GPU-accelerated infrastructure for AI through its 33 data centers, supported by 420 megawatts of active power, spread across the United States and Europe. It recently announced a $6 billion investment to set up a new data center in Lancaster, PA, with an initial capacity of 100 megawatts (MW) and a potential to scale up to 300MW. On the other hand, Amazon's AWS is a structurally dominant force in the cloud space (and is also making aggressive inroads in the AI infra space) and commands a leading share of the cloud market, followed by Microsoft and Google Cloud. Increased spending on AI infrastructure benefits both Amazon and CoreWeave, but not equally. So, if an investor wants to make a smart buy in the AI infrastructure space, which stock stands out? Let's break down how each company is performing and which one looks like the better investment right now. CoreWeave: A Fast-Growing Pure-Play AI Infra Provider CoreWeave is well-positioned to gain from the AI infrastructure boom. In the last earnings call, management highlighted that AI is forecasted to have a global economic impact of $20 trillion by 2030, while the total addressable market is anticipated to increase to $400 billion by 2028. Strategic partnerships with major players like OpenAI and NVIDIA bode well, along with a massive $259 billion revenue backlog. Apart from a $11.9 billion deal with OpenAI, CRWV has added several new enterprise customers and a hyperscaler client. It has signed expansion agreements with many customers, including a $4 billion expansion with a big AI-enterprise customer. CRWV added that the $4 billion expansion agreement signed with a big AI client will be reflected in revenue backlog beginning in the second quarter. Apart from scaling capacity and getting adequate financing for infrastructure, CRWV is also expanding its go-to-market capabilities. Moreover, the buyout of the Weights and Biases acquisition has added 1,400 AI labs and enterprises as clients for CoreWeave. The stock has declined sharply post its announcement of $9 billion takeover of Core Scientific. Since the announcement on July 7, CRWV has lost nearly 25%. Apart from scrutiny surrounding the company's latest acquisition bid, it also faces other headwinds. CRWV's aggressive capital deployment strategy is a key concern. CRWV expects capex to be between $20 billion and $23 billion for 2025 due to accelerated investment in the platform to meet customer demand. High capex, even with a success-based model, exposes CoreWeave to execution risks if contract revenue does not materialize on time. CoreWeave's aggressive data center buildout is being funded in part by debt, leading to ballooning interest expenses, which can exert pressure on the adjusted net income and potentially affect free cash flow generation. Stiff competition from the likes of AWS and Azure, and intense customer concentration risk remain concerning. CoreWeave's 77% of total revenues in 2024 came from the top two customers. Amazon: Aggressive Expansion AWS is the market leader in the cloud compute space and is now aggressively moving into AI infrastructure. To stay ahead of rivals, Amazon has launched custom AI chips (Trainium and Inferentia) and strengthened partnerships with the likes of NVIDIA while forging new collaborations with other AI developers to train and deploy models on AWS. AWS revenues surged 17% year over year in the first quarter of 2025, with an annualized revenue run rate pegged at $117 billion. AWS backlog reached $189 billion with a 4.1-year weighted average life, offering forward revenue visibility. In the last reported quarter, AWS signed new agreements with major companies, including Ericsson, Adobe, Uber Technologies, Nasdaq, Fujitsu and many others. Amazon highlighted that more than 85% of global IT spending is still on-premises, suggesting immense growth potential for AWS. Its increasing investments in generative AI are likely to continue aiding it in gaining momentum among cloud customers in the near term. More importantly, Amazon's AI business segment now operates at a multi-billion-dollar annual revenue run rate with triple-digit percentage growth year over year. Amazon's strategy focuses on custom silicon development, particularly its Trainium 2 chips, which offer 30-40% better price performance compared to GPU-based instances. The company has also expanded its AI model offerings through Amazon Bedrock and introduced services like Amazon Nova foundation models. AMZN has added the latest foundation models in Amazon Bedrock, including Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Meta's Llama 4 family of models, DeepSeek's R1 and Mistral AI's Pixtral Large. AMZN is ramping up investment to build its technology infrastructure, primarily related to AWS and for custom silicon like Trainium. Moreover, its diversified businesses and stupendous financial resources give it an edge. As of March 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents were $66.2 billion, while operating cash flow generated in the first quarter stood at nearly $17 billion. However, capacity constraints pose a challenge. Amazon has indicated that AI demand currently outstrips available capacity, suggesting the company could drive higher revenues with additional infrastructure. The intense competition from Microsoft's Azure and Google Cloud is concerning. Heavy capex spend could strain margins if AI returns do not materialize. CRWV Shares vs. AMZN Over the past month, AMZN shares have gained 6.9% while CRWV stock has lost 24.1%. Valuation for CRWV & AMZN Valuation-wise, both Amazon and CoreWeave are overvalued, as suggested by the Value Score of D and F, respectively. In terms of Price/Book, CRWV shares are trading at 30.22X, lower than AMZN's 8.06X. How Do Zacks Estimates Compare for CRWV & AMZN? Analysts have kept their earnings estimates unchanged for CRWV's bottom line for the current year. For AMZN, there is a marginal upward revision. CRWV or AMZN: Which is a Better Pick? Amazon remains a more stable and diversified AI cloud/infra bet, with AWS as a high growth engine. AWS is well poised to benefit from AI demand at a massive scale, as it aggressively improves on specialization. CRWV gains from niche specialization in AI infrastructure and strategic alignment with major AI players, but is capital-intensive. AMZN currently sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) while CRWV has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). If investors are seeking an AI infrastructure stock with long-term growth potential, Amazon is a better pick in terms of Zacks Rank. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. #1 Semiconductor Stock to Buy (Not NVDA) The incredible demand for data is fueling the market's next digital gold rush. As data centers continue to be built and constantly upgraded, the companies that provide the hardware for these behemoths will become the NVIDIAs of tomorrow. One under-the-radar chipmaker is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the next growth stage of this market. It specializes in semiconductor products that titans like NVIDIA don't build.

The $30 Billion Quarter: What TSMC's Blowout AI Demand Tells Us
Key Points TSMC generated $30 billion in revenue in Q2, signaling robust demand for its 3nm and 5nm chip nodes. While revenue is soaring, profits are rising even faster thanks in part to widening gross margins. Spending on AI infrastructure is expected to reach trillions of dollars over the next several years. 10 stocks we like better than Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing › Earnings season is upon us! Last week, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM) reported financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2024. Let's explore the Q2 report from TSMC (as the company is known for short). From there, I'll dive into some broader industry trends to help explain why the company's latest quarterly result was so impressive, and more importantly, how it is set up for even further growth in the long run. TSMC just posted a monster quarter all around, and... TSMC is a major supplier for leading chip companies such as Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices, and Broadcom. Moreover, the company's reach extends beyond traditional semiconductor businesses since it has also forged strong relationships with tech giants Apple and Amazon. During the second quarter, the company generated more than $30 billion in sales, thanks in large part to continued robust demand for the company's 5nm and 3nm chip nodes. TSM Revenue (Quarterly) data by YCharts; EPS = earnings per share. While the company's revenue grew 44% year over year, steadily improving gross margins and a disciplined cost structure fueled even more acceleration for its bottom line. During the second quarter, earnings per share (EPS) were roughly $2.50 -- representing nearly 61% growth year over year. ... forecasts suggest much more growth is in store In 2025 alone, cloud hyperscalers Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon, in combination with social media empire Meta Platforms, are expected to collectively have up to $330 billion in capital expenditures (capex). Taking this one step further, management consulting firm McKinsey & Company forecasts that investments in AI infrastructure -- which include data center buildouts and chips -- are expected to reach $6.7 trillion by next decade. With TSMC producing more than 40% revenue growth with an estimated 60% of the global chip foundry market, it appears well-positioned to capitalize on these secular tailwinds and acquire even more market share over the next several years. TSM Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Year; data by YCharts. What does TSMC's earnings report tell us about AI demand? To me, the simplest explanation of the blowout earnings report is that AI demand is not only strong, but it's also accelerating. While growth will fluctuate from quarter to quarter, I don't really see TSMC as a cyclical semiconductor stock at this point. Rather, the capex and infrastructure trends referenced above underscore how crucial AI growth is to the global economy at this point. The chipmaker's leading foundry services across edge devices, high-performance computing (HPC), and AI accelerators are at the center of this secular evolution. Is Taiwan Semiconductor stock a buy right now? Despite the company's jaw-dropping growth and robust outlook, TSMC trades at a forward price-to-earnings multiple (P/E) of just 24. Not only is this much lower than historical levels, but it is also a meaningful discount to many other leading chip stocks, too. While skeptics may cite the cyclicality of the chip market or potential geopolitical tensions with China as part of the bear narrative, I think TSMC's current financial profile and its future trajectory speak for themselves regardless of these risks. In my eyes, the disconnect between the company's valuation and its underlying business fundamentals could suggest that investors may not fully understand or appreciate the importance of its role in the broader chip ecosystem. I see TSMC stock as a no-brainer right now, and I think the company's price action suggests it is undervalued. Investors with a long-run time horizon might want to consider scooping up shares and holding on tight as the infrastructure chapter of the AI story continues to be written. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing is uniquely positioned to ride these tailwinds and sustain high levels of revenue and profit growth for years to come.

4 Stocks to Boost Your Portfolio as Nasdaq Continues to Rally
Wall Street has been on a joy ride over the past month. Concerns over tariffs, a delay in rate cuts and intensifying tensions between President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell haven't dented much of investors' spirits. The Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have all hit record highs in the past couple of weeks, and their northbound journey continues. The ongoing rally is once again being led by tech stocks, which saw the tech-heavy Nasdaq hitting a fresh all-time closing high of 21,020.02, after rising 0.6%, or 127.33 points, on Wednesday. Given the ongoing tech rally, it would be ideal to invest in Nasdaq stocks such as Inc. AMZN, Meta Platforms, Inc. META, Visa Inc. V and Microsoft Corporation MSFT, whichhave strong potential for the near term. These stocks have a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) and assure good returns. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank stocks here. Nasdaq Northbound Journey Continues The ongoing Nasdaq rally is being powered by solid earnings reports by a slew of big tech giants and the enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), especially generative AI. Over the past month, the Nasdaq Composite has gained 5.8%, while it has jumped 10.3% year to date, after surging 28.6% in 2024 to record its best year since 2020. Tech stocks took a beating after Trump announced sweeping tariffs in April. However, Nasdaq has since made a solid comeback after Trump announced a temporary pause on tariffs, followed by negotiations with several trading partners of the United States. This has raised optimism that the impact of the tariffs won't be as severe as it was believed earlier. Also, trade deals with China and Vietnam have brought relief to a large number of companies that have major production hubs in those countries. AI Optimism Powering Nasdaq Opinions among AI experts remain split on the long-term outlook of generative AI, but enthusiasm surrounding its prospects has been high in recent years. Many believe the technology is still in its nascent stages, with significant potential yet to be unlocked. One of the standout players in this space is NVIDIA Corporation NVDA, which has become a key driver of innovation and interest in generative AI. So far this year, NVIDIA's stock has risen by 29.4%. NVIDIA's success has been pushing other big tech companies to invest more aggressively in generative AI as well. Simultaneously, the growing popularity of smart devices is increasing demand for advanced computing and machine learning technologies. These devices depend on features like facial recognition, video analysis and image processing — all of which require high-speed, energy-efficient processors with powerful graphics and sufficient memory. This growing need has fueled a strong rebound in the semiconductor industry over the last two years. Also, despite a delay in rate cuts, market participants are hopeful that the Federal Reserve will go for at least two 25-basis-point rate cuts this year. Such a move would likely boost growth-focused assets, especially technology stocks, as they tend to benefit from lower rates. 3 Nasdaq Stocks With Upside Inc. Inc. is one of the largest e-commerce providers, with sprawling operations in North America, now spreading across the globe. AMZN's online retail business revolves around the Prime program, well-supported by the company's massive distribution network.
