Story summary

As of November 11, 2026, AI stocks have rebounded due to strong third-quarter results from CoreWeave and growing interest in Anthropic’s planned IPO, despite concerns over Nvidia. CoreWeave's shares surged around 14% in pre-market trading after reporting revenue of $3.66 billion (£2.8 billion), a 168% increase from the previous quarter. The company also raised its full-year revenue forecast to between $13 billion and $13.3 billion, easing financial concerns that had led to a more than 40% drop in share price over the past month. However, CoreWeave’s CEO Michael Intrator warned of ongoing challenges, including regulatory scrutiny and debt levels of around $41 billion, indicating a cautious approach moving forward despite positive earnings.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
