The deals are not in its signed backlog, and its $46.9 billion debt and $37 billion-$39 billion in yearly equipment spending remain serious burdens.
If customers renew, CoreWeave can keep earning from GPUs it has already paid for. Rental prices for older chips rose 30% to 50%, and chip costs fade over time as they are written off. The possible renewals are not in its signed backlog. Its $46.9 billion in debt and expected $37 billion-$39 billion in yearly equipment spending make signing those deals important.
The story reports higher rental prices and continued use of older Nvidia GPUs, but gives no new Nvidia sales, orders, or profit figures. It does not show a clear change in Nvidia's business outlook.
