CoreWeave Explores Financial Derivatives to Hedge Memory and Storage Chip Price Declines

According to Reuters, AI cloud computing company CoreWeave is exploring financial derivatives to hedge against potential memory and storage chip price declines. The company has signed long-term agreements with chipmakers Micron and SanDisk that include price floor guarantees for DRAM and storage chips. However, this arrangement creates a two-edged sword: while it protects chipmakers from market downturns, it exposes CoreWeave to risk if prices fall, forcing the company to purchase chips above market rates. CoreWeave executives have been discussing strategies to hedge against potential inventory depreciation from future price declines. Potential solutions under consideration include put options and other derivative instruments. The discussions are in preliminary stages, and no hedging operations have been executed.
