CoreWeave Set to Join Nasdaq-100: Should You Buy the Stock?
CoreWeave is being added to the Nasdaq-100 index, raising questions about whether the AI infrastructure stock is a smart buy now.

Whether that competitive advantage holds as Microsoft, Amazon, and Google expand their own AI infrastructure remains a key risk to watch.
