Shares of La Rosa Holdings Corp (LRHC) surged more than 25% on Monday after the company made its foray into the AI infrastructure market with the acquisition of a minority stake in Consensus Core Technologies.
La Rosa signed a non-binding letter of intent to acquire Consensus, a provider of infrastructure for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, in an all-stock deal, with no cash consideration.
If completed, current La Rosa shareholders would own about 3.1% of the combined company, while Consensus equity holders would control the remaining 96.9%. Consensus will also appoint the post-transaction CEO and chairman.

Combined with significant power capacity and its partnership with NVIDIA, in our view, Consensus is well positioned to build the scalable infrastructure needed to support the next wave of AI workloads," said Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa Holdings Corp.
