CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWV) is among the top-performing stocks for 2025, despite completing its IPO only in late March of this year. With a year-to-date return of an incredible 330%, the company has rapidly become a go-to name for artificial intelligence infrastructure, cloud computing, and machine learning projects more broadly.
A huge part of CoreWeave's success is likely due to its close partnership with chip giant NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA). The latter firm not only owns a significant stake in CoreWeave, but it supplies the younger company with valuable hardware that CoreWeave utilizes in its data centers, which it then sells access to for other businesses looking for the computational power necessary to fuel AI companies and machine learning programs alike.
