Cloud infrastructure demand remains high

Regardless of economic and geopolitical changes, the need for cloud compute capacity remains very strong. CoreWeave recently announced a deal with AI-powered research company Perplexity to power that company’s newest inference workloads. Perplexity chief business officer Dmitry Shevelenko stated, “We were impressed by the combination of CoreWeave’s technical aptitude and partner-first mindset that help AI-native companies accelerate their growth and scaling goals.”

Another catalyst for the stock was news that Nvidia (NVDA 1.56%), already a significant minority stakeholder in CoreWeave, invested $2 billion in competing AI infrastructure company **Nebius Group **this week.

Considering its existing relationship with CoreWeave, investors took that news as a sign of confidence from the AI leader that demand for data center capacity is still accelerating. CoreWeave should continue to fill its capacity, which might bode well for the stock in the short- and medium-term, at least.
