AI Infrastructure Shares Rally on CoreWeave and Super Micro Results
Strong data-centre earnings lifted the sector, days after hedge funds increased short positions against AI-exposed stocks.

Shares in companies supplying artificial-intelligence computing capacity rallied after CoreWeave and Super Micro Computer reported results ahead of market expectations, pointing to sustained demand for data-centre buildout.
Both companies cited order backlogs stretching into next year and continued capital commitments from large cloud and model-training customers. The results lifted the wider semiconductor and data-centre complex in early trading.
The move comes days after disclosures showed hedge funds increasing bets against AI-exposed equities, underlining a widening divergence between investors who see durable infrastructure demand and those who regard current valuations as stretched.
