Two of the stock market’s hottest themes put the initial public offerings of CoreWeave Inc. and Circle Internet Group Inc. in the spotlight. They’ll soon be under the microscope when they report quarterly earnings.

CoreWeave is up almost 250% since its March debut and Circle has surged fivefold since it went public in June, with the exuberance driven by investors’ hunger for a piece of the booming artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency industries. The companies also got a boost from retail traders and momentum investors in the days and weeks after hitting the stock market.
