Tech 5: CoreWeave Plans US$4 Billion IPO, Trump Threatens CHIPS Act
Tech stocks were active this week, impacted by a broader market correction, key announcements and funding rounds.
Google’s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) introduction of AI Mode, a powerful new search tool for complex, multi-part questions, as well as Shield’s estimated US$5.3 billion valuation after securing US$240 million in a new funding round offer a snapshot of the rapid innovation and investor interest driving the tech landscape right now.
With that, here's a look at other key events that made tech headlines this week.
1. CoreWeave plans IPO, faces Microsoft contract concerns
CoreWeave filed for a New York initial public offering (IPO) on Monday, seeking to raise US$4 billion and an expected valuation of more than US$35 billion.
On Wednesday, the Financial Times reported that Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) pulled out of some of its agreements with CoreWeave. Anonymous sources didn’t give details as to why the startup’s biggest customer cancelled some contracts but alluded to Microsoft’s reduced confidence in CoreWeave after the company allegedly missed deadlines and ran into other delivery issues.
CoreWeave generates over 60 percent of its revenue from Microsoft, to which it supplies computing power from its data centers for running large-scale AI models, including OpenAI's ChatGPT.
This multi-billion-dollar partnership represents a concentration risk. In its filing, CoreWeave stated that its business, operating results, financial condition and/or prospects could be negatively impacted by changes in its overall strategic relationship with Microsoft, including changes in demand and contractual agreements. Contracts between the two companies reportedly have Microsoft set to spend more than US$10 billion on CoreWeave services by 2030.
CoreWeave's IPO filing revealed a US$1.9 billion revenue for 2024, alongside substantial debt and net losses. The company has raised US$14.5 billion through debt and equity financing, including US$11 billion in asset-backed loans. This aggressive expansion has led to escalating net losses, which reached US$863 million in 2024, up from US$594 million in 2023 and US$31 million in 2022.
The company’s reliance on chip supplier Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) also poses supply chain risks, particularly concerning potential delays with Nvidia’s Blackwell GPUs.
After publication, CoreWeave delivered a statement to Data Center Dynamics, clarifying “there have been no contract cancellations or walking away from commitments. Any claim to the contrary is false and misleading.”
In a strategic move to further solidify its position in the AI space, on Tuesday, CoreWeave announced that it would acquire AI development startup Weights and Biases. The press release did not say how much the deal was worth, but unnamed sources for The Information said the deal could be valued at around US$1.7 billion.
2. TSMC fluctuates amid investment and political concerns
An interplay of factors, including geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, contributed to fluctuating TSMC’s (NYSE:TSM) share prices this week, both in the US and Taiwanese markets.
US shares were down at the start of the week due to concerns of economic upheaval and a potential trade war with China. Its Taiwanese shares fell after the company announced a US$100 billion investment in US chip production, including three new manufacturing plants, two packaging facilities and a research and development center.
Trump’s intention to end the US$52 billion CHIPS Act, which he expressed during his Tuesday evening Congressional Address, added to investor concerns. The CHIPS Act, an initiative from the Biden administration, has pledged funding to TSMC as well as fellow benefactors Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), Samsung (KS:5930) and Micron (NASDAQ:MU) to fund sizeable infrastructure projects. Intel received the largest portion, a US$7.9 billion grant to support commercial factories and another US$3 billion to produce military chips. TSMC is set to receive US$11.6 billion in direct funding and loans.
TSMC’s CEO, C.C. Wei, held a press conference on Thursday to address concerns from Taiwanese critics of the planned US investment who worry that moving advanced manufacturing will lessen US incentive to defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion. The country’s Chinese Nationalist Party, the KMT, said the investment was a threat to national security.
Wei defended the move, stating it was a response to increased customer demand for AI chips. In a separate statement, Taiwan’s Economics Minister said that TSMC’s most advanced processes would stay in Taiwan until at least 2026.
He did not confirm whether Trump had guaranteed the continuation of CHIPS Act subsidies in light of the new investment pledge but said that the company could proceed without them, emphasizing the desire for fairness.
3. NVIDIA chips to power OpenAI and Oracle's Stargate data center expansion
A source for Bloomberg said that OpenAI and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) are preparing to add 64,000 of NVIDIA's GB200 semiconductors to a new data center being built in Abilene, Texas, the first of the US$100 billion Stargate project announced by the Trump administration in January.
According to the report, the chips will be added to the center in phases, with an initial 16,000 chips set to be completed by this summer and the entire project complete by 2026.
4. Tech stocks share mixed earnings results
This week also saw a mix of earnings reports from major tech companies:
- CrowdStrike’s (NASDAQ:CRWD)Q4 earnings report released on Tuesday showed revenue of US$1.06 billion, beating expectations; however, its earnings guidance for the year of roughly US$3.39 per share fell short of the expected US$4.42. Shareholders reacted to the mixed results by sending the stock down to open 7.29 percent lower on Wednesday morning, and the cybersecurity company ended the week down 16.42 percent.
- Marvell’s (NASDAQ:MRVL)Q4 earning report slumped nearly 20 percent after the chipmaker’s outlook for the current quarter failed to meet expectations on Wednesday. The news weighed on investors already spooked by the threat of a potential trade war mid-week and extended to chipmakers Broadcom and Nvidia, pulling down the broader chip index. Marvell finished the week down over 23 percent.
- On Thursday, Broadcom’s (NASDAQ:AVGO)Q1 earnings report was more upbeat, revealing a 77 percent annual increase in AI server revenue to US$4.1 billion. The company’s stock went up nearly 13 percent in after-hours trading on Thursday afternoon but finished the week down by 4.29 percent after losses earlier in the week.
5. Shift to practical AI continues with agents, specialized applications
Key developments this week signaled a continuing shift toward AI agent expansion across both commercial and government sectors.
On Tuesday, Reuters reported on a new division from Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services (AWS) dedicated to AI agents, indicating a strategic focus on automated task solutions for cloud computing clients. The plans were officially announced by Amazon Vice President of AI and Data Swami Sivasubramanian via a LinkedIn post on Wednesday.
“This new capability – powered by Claude 3.7 Sonnet, Anthropic's most intelligent model to date – allows developers to have more collaborative, interactive conversations with Q Developer that works with them, asks them feedback and makes iterative changes as they go along,” Sivasubramanian wrote.
Later, during a public interview at Morgan Stanley’s Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in San Francisco on Wednesday, Meta’s (NASDAQ:META) chief product officer Chris Cox said the company’s upcoming Llama 4 model will have reasoning capabilities powerful enough to create AI agents capable of using a web browser and other tools.
He described how more advanced AI agents can be built on a foundation of embeddings, enabling them to complete specific business-related tasks like filing receipts. These comments follow a previous CNBC report of Meta’s plans to debut a stand-alone AI app sometime during the second quarter and echo similar statements made to CNBC’s Julia Boorston by Clara Shih, Meta’s head of business AI.
“We’re quickly coming to a place where every business, from the very large to the very small, they’re going to have a business agent representing it and acting on its behalf, in its voice — the way that businesses today have websites and email addresses,” Shih said, explaining that Meta is working to develop business AIs for smaller businesses who may not be able to hire large AI teams.
Adding to this trend, OpenAI is reportedly planning to introduce tiered subscriptions for specialized AI agents, with prices ranging from US$2,000 to US$20,000 per month to reflect varying levels of capabilities.
Also, the US Department of Defense has begun integrating AI agents through collaborations with Scale AI, Microsoft, and Anduril for military operations, including simulation and decision support.
These moves signal rapid growth in the adoption of AI agents, marking a shift toward practical AI implementation and coincide with broader market shifts showing increased investment in AI applications, as noted in recent financial reporting from Bloomberg’s Kate Clark. This reflects a wider movement beyond foundational AI models, focused on delivering specialized, user-focused AI tools and services, whether through autonomous agents or dedicated applications.

5 Biggest AI ETFs in 2025
For investors who want to gain exposure to artificial intelligence stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a popular avenue, because AI ETFs allow investors exposure to the overall market rather than individual AI stocks.
AI investing has exploded in popularity in recent years, with many major tech stocks focusing on developing their AI capabilities.
However, the sector has a long history. The phrase "artificial intelligence" has been around since 1955, when it was used to describe a new computer science subdiscipline. Today we use AI to describe simulated intelligence in machines. In other words, machines with AI are capable of simulating thinking like people and mimicking their actions.
As applications for AI rapidly expand, it's clear that this market isn't going away anytime soon.
Research conducted by
Markets and Markets suggests the AI industry will be worth over US$1.34 trillion by 2030, increasing at a compound annual growth rate of 35.7 percent between 2024 and 2030. With that much money going into the sector, there is certainly no shortage of ways for investors to add AI investments to their portfolios.
Here the Investing News Network looks at five AI ETFs to invest in, based on the largest listed on ETFdb.com. All data on assets under management, holdings and expense ratios for each ETF were current as of February 27, 2025.
According to ETFdb.com, the AI ETFs on its list are required to meet one of three criteria:

Tech 5: Apple to Invest US$500 Billion in American Facilities, OpenAI Launches GPT-4.5
Market volatility was on full display this week, beginning with a sharp selloff on Monday (February 24) and exacerbated by a rollout of downbeat economic data, including a weak consumer sentiment report.
Those feelings were echoed in the findings of a Harris Poll conducted for Bloomberg News, which found that nearly 60 percent of US adults expect higher prices in 2025 if President Donald Trump’s policies are enacted.
Rising US jobless claims and fluctuating Personal Consumption Expenditures price index data on Thursday (February 27), coupled with Friday (February 28) numbers showing US consumer spending fell in January and a tense meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, intensified economic concerns.
The tech and crypto markets felt the impact of this uncertainty, with Bitcoin ultimately dropping below US$78,400 on Thursday night, over 20 percent lower than its price near US$100,000 seen last week.
All Mag 7 stocks moved down on Tuesday (February 25) after the consumer sentiment report, with Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) leading the descent. Its market cap dipped below US$1 trillion after January data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association showed 45 percent fewer Tesla registrations year-on-year. The carmaker ended the week down 13.24 percent. NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) also lost over 10 percent this week.
Amid these fluctuating market dynamics, Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures, urged attendees at the Information’s AI Agenda Live conference in San Francisco to be selective when looking for artificial intelligence (AI) opportunities.
“Most investments in AI will lose money, but a few high-return outliers will offset the losses,” he said. “Right now, we’re in the greed cycle of investing because people see the momentum that’s been established in the market caps.”
With that, here's a look at other key events that made tech headlines this week.
1. Spotlight on Cohere and NVIDIA's AI advances
Software startup Cohere is making waves in the international AI market.
A Monday report from the Information reveals that the Canadian AI company, which develops large language models (LLMs), surpassed US$70 million in annualized revenue, a three-fold increase compared to last year.
In July 2024, the company was valued at US$5.5 billion. In January, it launched North, an “all-in-one secure AI workspace platform” that combines LLMs, advanced search and automation tools to help enterprises enable automation and streamline efficiency. Roughly 25 percent of its revenue growth is reportedly from international markets.
Such a drastic increase in revenue may not come as a surprise given Cohere's strong backing by industry heavyweights like Salesforce (NYSE:CRM), Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) and NVIDIA. The company’s professional relationships have been instrumental to its growth. Cohere’s Command R model was integrated into NVIDIA's API catalog last year. Cohere has also secured a partnership with CoreWeave to build data centers in Canada, with the financial backing of the Canadian government and hardware supplied by NVIDIA.
NVIDIA itself released its latest quarterly results on Wednesday (February 26), reporting earnings per share of US$0.89, surpassing analysts' estimates of US$0.85. It is projecting revenue of US$43 billion for the coming quarter.
Despite a slight dip in share price the day before its results came out, perhaps driven by potential restrictions on sales of its graphic processing units to China, the market reacted positively to NVIDIA's performance. The company's share price closed at US$131.28 on Wednesday, climbing to US$135.67 in after-hours trading. NVIDIA closed the week at US$124.92 per share, down 8.52 percent from Monday’s opening price.
2. Apple announces US investment and manufacturing plans
Apple (NASDAQ:APPL) started the week by announcing a US$500 billion investment in the US over the course of next four years. The company's commitment includes a new manufacturing academy in Michigan, accelerated research and development efforts and a new 250,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Houston.
“The servers that will soon be assembled in Houston play a key role in powering Apple Intelligence, and are the foundation of Private Cloud Compute, which combines powerful AI processing with the most advanced security architecture ever deployed at scale for AI cloud computing,” the company wrote in a press release.
The center, which the company says will employ 20,000 workers, is slated to begin operations in 2026.
Trump recently revealed Apple’s intention to shift manufacturing from Mexico to the US after a meeting with CEO Tim Cook, preempting the company's official announcement.
“He’s going to start building,” Trump told governors at the White House on February 21. “Very big numbers — you have to speak to him. I assume they’re going to announce it at some point.”
In a separate development, Apple finalized an investment agreement with Indonesia on Thursday, ending a five month deadlock that prevented iPhone 16 sales in the country. The agreement includes the construction of an AirTag manufacturing facility on Batam Island and another plant in Bandung, West Java.
3. OpenAI's GPT-4.5 unveiled alongside BNY Mellon collaboration
BNY Mellon, America’s oldest bank, announced a multi-year partnership with OpenAI on Wednesday.
The agreement will give BNY Mellon access to OpenAI's advanced AI tools, including Deep Research and its most advanced reasoning models. These tools will enhance BNY Mellon’s internal AI platform, Eliza. OpenAI aims to gain valuable insights into the real-world performance of its models for complex tasks through this collaboration.
This focus on advanced reasoning models is a key aspect of OpenAI's broader strategy, even as it explores different facets of AI with its latest release, GPT-4.5, on Thursday. GPT-4.5 is the latest iteration of its language model, ChatGPT.
GPT-4.5 employs “unsupervised learning,” a type of machine learning where algorithms analyze and find patterns in unlabeled data. According to OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman, the model exhibits greater emotional intelligence and is less likely to hallucinate than past models. “It is the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person to me,” Altman posted on X on Thursday afternoon following a press release. “(I) have had several moments where I've sat back in my chair and been astonished at getting actually good advice from an AI.”
Altman also explained that the model's size and complexity demand substantial computational resources, delaying the release of the "plus" tier until after “tens of thousands of GPUs” are added next week.
In addition, he clarified that GPT-4.5 is not a reasoning model and “won’t crush any benchmarks. (I)t’s a different kind of intelligence and there’s a magic to it (I) haven’t felt before.” In essence, GPT-4.5 represents advancement towards more intuitive AI capable of adaptable, meaningful and natural conversations.
4. CoreWeave eyes US$35 billion valuation in upcoming IPO
Cloud computing provider CoreWeave is reportedly considering an initial public offering (IPO) in the US. The official announcement could come within a week, according to sources for Bloomberg, who said the details of the plan are still being decided. Company representatives did not respond to Bloomberg’s request for a statement.
Bloomberg also reported on rumors of a CoreWeave IPO in November, with sources at the time saying executives had chosen prominent investors Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) to lead. The company secured US$23 billion from Cisco Systems in October 2024.
CoreWeave is now seeking US$4 billion, targeting a valuation of at least US$35 billion.
5. Reports show Meta to build new AI data center
Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) is reportedly in talks to build a new data center campus to power its ambitious AI projects, valued at approximately US$200 billion. Sources familiar with the matter revealed to the Information that Meta executives are actively exploring potential sites in Louisiana, Wyoming and Texas.
However, a Meta spokesperson refuted these reports, reasserting the company's previously disclosed capital expenditure and data center plans, confirming that those plans have been finalized.
In related news, CNBC reported on Thursday that Meta is preparing to launch a standalone app dedicated to its chatbot, Meta AI. This move would allow users to engage with and use the AI chatbot on a separate platform from the company's other social media and messaging apps.

NVIDIA Earnings: What Investors Need to Know
NVIDIA's (NASDAQ:NVDA) results have once again exceeded analysts' expectations.
Despite bearish sentiment leading up to the release of its earnings, the company delivered strong results for its fourth fiscal quarter of 2025, driven by the surging demand for its artificial intelligence (AI) solutions.
Quarterly revenue reached US$39.3 billion, a 78 percent increase year-on-year and a 12 percent rise from the previous quarter. Data center revenue soared to US$35.6 billion, up 93 percent from a year ago, highlighting the critical role of NVIDIA's chips in powering the AI revolution. Earnings per diluted share hit US$0.89, surpassing estimates of US$0.85.
NVIDIA projects revenue of US$43 billion for its first fiscal quarter of 2026, indicating continued growth confidence.
While NVIDIA's performance remains impressive, the company faces a dynamic and challenging environment.
The emergence of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI competitor, has raised concerns about over-concentration in AI. Additionally, the timeline for widespread real-world AI applications remains uncertain, and geopolitical tensions, particularly with NVIDIA's ties to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE:TSM,TPE:2330), add complexity.
The US government's efforts to restrict NVIDIA's business in China also pose challenges.
Despite these headwinds, NVIDIA continues to push the boundaries of AI innovation.
During the most recent quarter, which ended on January 26, 2025, the company announced its role as a key technology partner for the US$500 billion Stargate Project, unveiled new GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards with AI-enhanced rendering and launched NVIDIA Cosmos, a platform designed to accelerate the development of physical AI.
Partnerships with major cloud providers, as well as leading healthcare institutions and car manufacturers like Hyundai Motor (KRX:005380) and Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM), further demonstrate NVIDIA's commitment to driving AI adoption.
The company closed Wednesday (February 26) up 3.67 percent at US$131.28 and with a market capitalization of US$3.22 trillion. Its share price rose as high as US$135.67 in after-hours trading.
CEO Jensen Huang expressed enthusiasm for the "amazing demand" for NVIDIA's Blackwell architecture, emphasizing its ability to scale AI capabilities and deliver smarter solutions.
NVIDIA's strong quarterly performance and bullish outlook reinforce its position as a leader in the AI space.
