On Wednesday, Nvidia released its financial reports to wide applause from Wall Street and the White House, as its quarterly revenue rose 60% from a year ago to reach $57 billion — well above analysts' expectations. Its earnings per share also climbed 60% year-over-year to $1.26, above the consensus on Wall Street.

AI Boom 'Not a Bubble,' Says Nvidia CEO

Commenting on the results, Jensen Huang, Nvidia's chief executive, emphasized that the AI boom is "real" and "not a bubble". The results and the CEO's comment, which are fueling a rally in Asian tech stocks, have also helped to propel top AI neocloud providers out of their recent post-earnings rut.

As of 6:35 a.m. EST on Thursday, the stocks climbed thus:

• CoreWeave's (CRWV) shares, which have plunged about 21% over the past five days, rose about 8% to $80.70 per share.
• Nebius (NBIS), which shed over 11% of its value in the last five days, climbed about 7% to $101.36 per share.
• IREN (IREN), which has dropped over 22% in the last five days, similarly rose about 8% to $49.24 per share.

Why Did CoreWeave, Nebius, and IREN Plunge?

The rise in CoreWeave's shares comes as Wall Street remains divided on the future direction of the New Jersey-based company. The data center operator had attracted price cuts after lowering its full-year revenue forecast due to a delay from a third-party partner. A report from The Verge also named CoreWeave as "the heart of the AI bubble."

On its part, Amsterdam-based Nebius has failed to impress investors with its new $3 billion five-year contract with U.S. tech giant Meta Platforms (META). This came after the company, which builds large-scale cloud platforms and data centers optimized for artificial intelligence workloads, reported a net loss of $39.7 million despite growing its revenue by 355% from a year ago.

For Sydney-based IREN, some analysts have pointed to the "quite high" execution and financial risks that come with its recent $9.7 billion deal with Microsoft (MSFT). Unlike Nebius, IREN has managed to turn its loss to profit, reporting earnings per share of $1.07 in its first-quarter Fiscal Year 2026 results.
