Cloud computing company CoreWeave $CRWV ( ▲ 3.49% ) jumped 3.49% on Thursday after announcing a new $21 billion deal with Facebook parent Meta Platforms $META ( ▲ 2.61% ).

Details: The deal includes an expanded, long-term agreement to provide AI cloud capacity through December 2032.

Background: CoreWeave’s stock is up over 88% in the past 12 months as its technology is benefiting from the growing AI race.

Quote: “This is another example that leading companies are choosing CoreWeave’s AI cloud to run their most demanding workloads.” - CEO Michael Intrator.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Meta’s new $21 billion deal is important to CoreWeave because it gives the company multi-year revenue visibility, strengthens its backlog, and reduces its dependence on a single customer.

Final Thoughts: CoreWeave’s stock slipped by 0.37% in after-hours trading on Thursday after announcing a new $3 billion convertible senior notes offering.

As most cryptocurrency prices ticked up about 1% on Thursday, Hyperliquid $HYPE ( ▲ 5.24% ) was the big winner with a 5% boost.

Details: Traders were reacting to a bullish technical setup. The price broke out of a flag pattern, which often attracts momentum buyers.

Powering the Story: A big catalyst on Thursday was the launch of the Bitwise Hyperliquid Staking ETP (exchange-traded product) in Europe, which provides exposure to HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid network. There is also a staking-related feature that allows investors to generate potential yield.

Final Thoughts: Hyperliquid is one of the few mainstream cryptos to be positive in 2026. It is up about 17% in the past 30 days.

Simulations Plus $SLP ( ▼ 0.08% ) surged 12.87% in after-hours trading on Thursday after posting good financial earnings results.

Financials: Simulations Plus reported earnings of 35 cents per share in the past quarter and revenue of $24.3 million. Both were better than expected.
