Did the purchases of property and equipment of CoreWeave for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 come to at or above 215.0% of its revenue?
Divide the purchases of property and equipment by the revenue that CoreWeave reports for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 in its 10-Q or 10-K filing on SEC EDGAR. The answer is yes if the ratio is at or above 215.0%; no if it is below 215.0%.
If the source is late or silent: If CoreWeave has not filed by November 16, 2026, or a filing restates a period the rule reads, the test is inconclusive, and the Result says what was read and what was missing.

The case against it
No if capital spending eases below 215 percent as revenue grows faster than new equipment purchases.
If yes
Return on invested capital falls
Yes if CoreWeave keeps building out data centers at a pace near last quarter's 249.4 percent of revenue.

Massive AI capital spending is piling into balance sheets and depreciation schedules faster than AI revenue shows up, which could drag down returns on invested capital across the biggest cloud players.
