  • CoreWeave topped expectations and guided to a substantial revenue uptick after its debt-driven selloff
  • OpenAI still running a nearly $11 billion operating loss, far worse than rival Anthropic

Anthropic's IPO priced at a valuation near $1.3 trillion, reigniting confidence across the AI sector at a moment when investors had been hunting for a fresh catalyst. CoreWeave added to the optimism by topping expectations and guiding toward a substantial revenue uptick, a notable turnaround after the debt-driven selloff that had weighed on the stock.

The backdrop is not uniformly bright. OpenAI is still running a nearly $11 billion operating loss, a figure that towers over rival Anthropic's and raises questions about how long the largest players can sustain current spending levels before profitability becomes a pressing concern.

Nvidia is the notable outlier in an otherwise buoyant week for AI names. Shares fell after reports surfaced linking CEO Jensen Huang to a suspected Chinese spy, a headline-risk event that has little to do with the company's fundamentals but enough to spook short-term holders.

For much of the AI boom, Nvidia shares tracked sector enthusiasm almost in lockstep. That correlation appears to have frayed, meaning the stock is now subject to its own headline risk independent of how the broader AI trade performs.
