You heard 10x demand for compute > supply from $CRWV today.
Hearing from $TSM today on Nikkei Forum:
"The demand on our leading node [most advanced] silicon is insatiable"
Customers "want to get [their] hands around any compute capability they can have. It's truly an insatiable environment."
Q: Whether AI demand was slowing?
A: "we did not see any sign of slowdown"
Q: How demand compared with TSMC’s ability to supply
A: "the demand actually is still far above our capability today to supply."
TSMC identified power and substrates as bottlenecks customers were encountering.
On the mid-to-high-50s annualized growth estimate for AI accelerator revenue from 2024 to 2029. Wei said "it probably will be higher."
Describing things as "insatiable" from a traditionally conservative company... doesn't quite look like any collapse in AI demand.
Quoted @aleabitoreddit: $CRWV ER and read through for $NBIS and other Neoclouds:
“We have 10x as much qualified demand as available capacity”.
- interest in 2028 capacity already amounts to several times what CoreWeave has available
- CoreWeave raised prices by 25% in July, +10% later in Q3, and more to come in Q4
- Ampere and Hopper rental pricing rose 30–50% quarter over quarter (older GPUs)
- better financing conditions (higher prepayments, lower interest 7–7.5% for new loans)
- positive adjusted net income in the first half of 2028.
So we’re seeing higher pricing esp. for older GPUs…better financing mechanics, and extreme demand imbalance where you have 10x demand > supply.
Same issues are there for this company in specific with interest rates, but I’d argue other Neoclouds are in a better spot.
But it’s wild to witness AI infrastructure names crash while demand keeps growing(Historical earnings: For FY2025 (period ended 2025-12-31), reported basic EPS of 0.34, diluted EPS of 0.33, net income of USD 82.500 million, and revenue of USD 0.530 billion.
Consensus expectations: Consensus for 2026Q3 expects EPS of -0.7021 and revenue of USD 0.926 billion.)
