CoreWeave (CRWV) Stock Rises After Anthropic Agreement | AI Infrastructure Growth - News and Statistics

Apr 12, 2026

Shares of CoreWeave (NASDAQ: CRWV) jumped more than 12% on Friday after the company announced it reached a multi-year deal with Anthropic, the artificial intelligence company behind the Claude chatbot. This adds to a series of recent successes for CoreWeave, after recently announcing a $21 billion deal with social media giant Meta Platforms.

CoreWeave rents out computing power to tech companies in need of access to the latest chips. At a market cap of $54 billion, CoreWeave is a fairly small tech company when compared to the “Magnificent Seven” stocks that are over $1 trillion.

While CoreWeave’s stock has been rising lately and is up over 42% for the year, it is still down 45% from the high of $187 it reached last year. Given the ongoing spending in AI now and for the foreseeable future, CoreWeave’s stock could have a lot of upside given the important role it plays in the industry.

There is admittedly some risk with the company as it isn’t profitable and has a high debt load. But for investors who want to profit from the growth in AI spend, CoreWeave may be the AI stock with the most long-term upside. If you can stomach the risk and volatility that comes with it, it may be worth hanging on to for the long haul.

Before you buy stock in CoreWeave, consider that an analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now and CoreWeave wasn’t one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.
