The AMD Deal Makes Core Scientific A Strong Buy
Summary I'm rating Core Scientific a Strong Buy with a price target of $28, implying a 40% upside potential. My main growth drivers are the CoreWeave ramp, the AMD Phase 1 contract, additional power monetization, and the mix shift away from bitcoin mining. Together, these drivers support my estimate of about $1.2 billion in potential 2028 EBITDA before applying a conservative adjustment for corporate costs and execution risk. I arrive at my price target by using the sector median FWD EV/EBITDA multiple of 14.24x on my estimated EBITDA of $1.2 billion. The key risks are construction delays, financing costs, and customer concentration. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha

Core Scientific: Higher Digital Asset Prices And Making Progress On Debt
Summary Core Scientific's strategic pivot to high-performance computing (HPC) has driven significant stock appreciation, despite volatility and challenges in the Bitcoin mining market.

Given the high level of market expectations, one may expect volatility as it executes on AI. Read the full article on Seeking AlphaSeeking Alpha • Oct 16
Core Scientific: HPC Pivot Begins To Bear Fruit
Summary Core Scientific's stock has nearly doubled since June, outperforming the market and tech giants like NVIDIA. Despite a significant debt reduction and improved balance sheet, Core Scientific's growth heavily relies on its relationship with CoreWeave, raising concerns about client diversification. Bitcoin mining remains Core Scientific's primary revenue source, but declining BTC production and high operational costs highlight the need for growth in the HPC segment. The delay in CoreWeave's 118 MW option and the lack of additional HPC clients make me cautious about investing in Core Scientific at this time.

Core Scientific: Deserves Better As HPC Moves Into High Gear
Summary Despite having seen its share price fluctuating alongside Bitcoin since the halving event, Core Scientific has nonetheless delivered a net upside of 200%. Still, it is underpriced based on potential revenues to be obtained from HPC or High-Performance Computing leasing. Also, volatility is likely to continue in the short term due to predominant exposure to digital assets, but the strong operational performance and HPC focus are key advantages. Also, it bears high debt, but continued diversification into hosting versus self-mining means more stable cash flow generation. The company achieved milestones, leased a data center in Austin, and secured a contract with CoreWeave for 382 megawatts, with potential revenue of $6.7 billion.
