CoreWeave (CRWV, Financial) saw a significant stock price increase following the announcement of a $6 billion investment in a new AI data center in Pennsylvania.

The announcement is expected to be made at the Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit, alongside former President Donald Trump and other key figures.
