How the markets moved today
The S&P 500 (^GSPC +0.41%) added 0.41% to finish Tuesday at 6,979, while the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC +0.91%) rose 0.91% to close at 23,817. Within cloud infrastructure services, industry peers Nvidia (NVDA +1.10%) closed at $188.52 (+1.10%) and Microsoft (MSFT +2.23%) finished at $480.58 (+2.19%) as investors tracked AI-focused capacity and spending plans.
What this means for investors
CoreWeave rose sharply on Tuesday after Nvidia committed $2 billion to the AI infrastructure provider, a move that investors read as a strong endorsement of CoreWeave’s position in the fast-growing market for GPU-powered cloud services. The investment, priced at $87.20 a share, deepens ties between the chipmaker and CoreWeave’s data center platform.
Reports that Nvidia’s stake could increase to roughly 11% and help fund plans for more than 5 gigawatts of AI data center capacity by 2030 added to the rally. The stock also benefited from a Deutsche Bank upgrade, which brought added institutional attention to the story.
A recently filed securities class action tied to data center delays underscores that execution risk has not disappeared, even with Nvidia’s backing. Delivery timelines, power availability, and build-out discipline will be closely watched as CoreWeave works to translate a high-profile partnership into sustained operating momentum.
