Lucid Group Signs Multi-Year Supply Agreement With Graphite One For Graphite Sourcing

K Wave Media shares are trading higher after the company announced it signed a $500 million securities purchase agreement to advance a bitcoin-focused treasury strategy.

Shares of CoreWeave Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWV#NASDAQ">CRWV</a>) surged 6.99% in premarket following its major long-term infrastructure agreement with Applied Digital Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APLD#NASDAQ">APLD</a>). The stock&#8217;s technical chart was pointing to a largely bullish trend.
What Happened: On Monday, Applied Digital announced two 15-year lease agreements to supply 250 megawatts of critical IT load for CoreWeave's AI and high-performance computing operations at a North Dakota data center campus.
The stock skyrocketed 25.19% to $150.48 apiece on Tuesday following this announcement. The company, which was listed on March 28, hit a fresh all-time high of $150.88 on Tuesday, however, it crossed the $160 level in premarket on Wednesday.
As of Tuesday&#8217;s close, <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a> data showed that CoreWeave&#8217;s shares were trading above their eight and 20-day daily simple moving averages of $123.72 and $93.47, respectively.
Its MACD line at 23.02 was above the signal line of 17.30, indicating that the stock&#8217;s 12-day exponential moving average was above its 26-day EMA. This was representative of a bullish trend with higher potential, as it had a positive histogram value of 5.72.
Meanwhile, the relative strength index at 80.63 was in the overbought range, making the case for a possible price reversal or corrective pullback.

Why It Matters: CoreWeave can opt to add 150 more megawatts, potentially reaching 400 megawatts total, with Applied Digital expecting $7 billion in revenue over the lease term.
The first 100-megawatt phase will be operational by the fourth quarter of 2025, followed by a 150-megawatt phase by mid-2026, and a potential third phase by 2027. 
This deal underscores CoreWeave's expansion in the AI computing market, boosting both companies' stock prices, with Applied Digital shares soaring over 45% on Monday.
Price Action: CRWV&#8217;s shares have returned 276.20% since listing and 195% in the last month.

In May, President Donald Trump threatened to slap tariffs on Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MAT#NASDAQ">MAT</a>) over their hesitance to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. Now, experts are debating whether he actually has the legal power to follow through.
What Happened: These company-specific tariff threats could potentially face legal challenges, particularly in light of a recent decision by the U.S. Court of International Trade that questioned the President&#8217;s authority to impose tariffs without Congressional action. However, this decision was temporarily suspended by a Court of Appeals decision later.
Experts opine that despite potential legal challenges, Trump does have some means to levy tariffs on specific companies to enforce his demands, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/02/business/trump-tariffs-apple-iphone-mattel-barbie?ref=biztoc.com">reported </a>CNN. At present, most of Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports exclude smartphones. However, a Morgan Stanley research note suggests the administration could target imported smartphones through a Section 232 investigation — a trade law provision that enables the President to impose tariffs on imports deemed a national security threat.
Although this could be a lengthy process, it is a potential tool for the administration to use on the Tim Cook-led company and target iPhones. Mattel, on the other hand, does not share the same concern, as it would be difficult to argue that Barbie dolls pose a national security threat.
Clark Packard, research fellow from Cato Institute, told CNN, "Courts are going to be fairly deferential on claims of national security by the executive branch&#8230;You're probably on a little firmer territory there (with smartphones) than you would be on Mattel."

Why It Matters: The tariff threats come in the wake of President Trump&#8217;s aggressive stance on trade. During mid-May, Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45475854/he-wont-sell-one-toy-in-the-united-states-says-donald-trump-suggesting-a-100-tariff-on-mattel-which-he-seemed-to-mistake-for-a-country">targeted </a>toy giant Mattel as part of his ongoing trade dispute with China. A week later, he demanded that iPhones sold in the U.S. be manufactured domestically, threatening a 25% tariff on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45584696/trump-threatens-tim-cook-to-manufacture-iphones-in-the-us-or-face-at-least-25-tariffs">Apple Inc.</a> if this was not the case.
Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz told CNBC that the company plans to diversify its global sourcing so no single country, including China, accounts for more than 25% by the end of 2025. He ruled out shifting production back to the U.S., stating, &#8220;We don&#8217;t see that happening.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Apple is reportedly advancing a significant supply chain expansion in India via its leading manufacturing partner, Foxconn, also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HNHAF#OTC">HNHAF</a>), despite Trump&#8217;s &#8216;little problem with Tim Cook&#8217; on this matter.

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
