CoreWeave's shares jumped 25.3% to a near two-week high after the battered company said it would become profitable in the first half of 2028, on an adjusted basis, as it sought to reassure investors that strong demand and customer commitments could support its debt-fueled expansion.

The results boosted sentiment across AI infrastructure stocks, with Nebius Group and Applied Digital rising 17.4% and 8.6%, respectively. Nvidia rose 3.8% after shedding about $430 billion in the previous two sessions as questions about CEO Jensen Huang's relationship with a businesswoman alleged to be a Chinese spy roiled markets.
