CoreWeave stock rose in a green day for the market
After some big sell-offs earlier in the week, the stock market saw broad bullish momentum on Friday. Stocks rose on news that the U.S. and Iran could soon finalize terms to end their conflict.
CoreWeave stock also got a boost from the strong valuation gains that SpaceX saw following its initial public offering (IPO). The space tech company sold its first tranche of publicly available stock at $135 per share, and its share price ended the day at $160.95 — good for a 19.2% gain in its first day of trading. Strong valuation gains for SpaceX helped support the case for bullish sentiment on growth stocks overall, and CoreWeave moved higher amid the trend.
