An up-and-coming company specializing in the hottest technology area decides to go public. It's teamed up with the most prominent player in that area. The company's initial public offering (IPO) is set to be the biggest for a tech stock in years.

CoreWeave priced its initial public offering far lower than it originally expected, in a disappointing development for Nvidia.

CoreWeave priced its initial public offering (IPO) at $40 a share in March. The company initially expected to sell shares in the range of $47 to $55, but concerns about the pace of AI spending and CoreWeave's business model caused it to downsize the offering. Nvidia ( NVDA) — an early CoreWeave investor — reportedly anchored the IPO at $40.
