AI-01 — Grinding Through 7 AI Compute Stocks: CRWV / NBIS / IREN / CIFR / WULF / APLD / SLNH. 2026 Compute, Power Capacity, Revenue Explosion

2025-12-03 · paid tier
  • **Big seven AI infrastructure plays compared on every meaningful metric.** Took ~2 weeks to compile and verify. CRWV (CoreWave) is the giant ($36.4B mcap), then NBIS ($24B), IREN ($13.5B). Mid-tier: CIFR/APLD/WULF ($6.5-8B). SLNH (Soluna) is the small/speculative one ($1.2B).
  • **Speaker's top picks (in order):** **(1) NBIS** — strongest software, deepest team (1,370 employees), low debt, 6-15x revenue growth to 2026. **(2) IREN** — vertically integrated, 100% green, biggest 2026 capacity (2.3 GW), starting to build software, PS only 12 (cheapest). **(3) WULF** — only 12 employees but Google/Fluid Stack-backed, 400% revenue growth, 14% insiders, 96% institutional (institutions love it). **(4) Speculative: SLNH** — waiting to get hit with a big order; if it does, multi-bagger; if not, dilution death spiral.
  • **Risk callouts:** **CRWV** has 8.8x leverage (highest), 70% of OpenAI's $22B order is CRWV's — and OpenAI is in the eye of the storm. **APLD** has 70% revenue concentration from CRWV (so APLD goes down if CRWV does). **CIFR** has a revenue gap 2026-2028 — market may de-rate once visible. **SLNH** has high dilution (7x share count growth in 24-25), highest leverage ratio after CRWV.
