CoreWeave stock jumps as CEO swats down Nvidia “circular financing” talk

New York, Jan 15, 2026, 11:30 ET — Regular session Shares of CoreWeave (CRWV) jumped roughly 10% to $98.72 in late morning trading Thursday, fueled by a fresh wave of interest in AI-related stocks.

Palantir billboards pop up in Youngstown, sparking fresh talk about the AI firm’s next move

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Jan 15, 2026, 06:02 EST At least two new billboards carrying Palantir Technologies’ name have appeared around Youngstown, Ohio, setting off local speculation about why the data-software company is targeting the area and whether it is fishing for hires or something bigger.
