Anthropic has filed for an IPO, planning to list its Class A shares on Nasdaq under the ticker “ANT”, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley leading 24 underwriters. For the first half of 2026, revenue reached 16.29 billion USD (versus 1.16 billion USD a year earlier), but the company posted a net loss of 80.7 billion USD, mainly due to a 72.4 billion USD charge tied to fair value changes in convertible notes and other instruments. A trust will elect a majority of the board, while an entity owned by its seven co-founders will hold 50.1% of voting power; the filing warns this structure may effectively eliminate Class A holders’ ability to influence key decisions. The company previously raised 65 billion USD in May at a 965 billion USD valuation, and the number of shares and price range have not yet been set.

- Will OpenAI Go Public? One VC Says ‘Not Really Sure They Mean It’ But Bets On ‘Blockbuster’ Anthropic Listing
Verdict Capital's Michael Fertik told CNBC he is not sure OpenAI really intends to go public, and said rival Anthropic could be a “blockbuster” listing that covers any gap if OpenAI stays private. Anthropic reportedly shared its third-quarter financials with prospective investors ahead of a potential IPO that could value it at around $2 trillion, reporting $16.8 billion in Q3 revenue (up from $11.6 billion in Q2 and $4.7 billion in Q1), positive free cash flow, an 85% adjusted gross margin and an adjusted operating margin above 11%. CNBC's Jim Cramer said the numbers appeared to contribute to a sharp tech selloff on Wednesday, when the Nasdaq fell about 1.9% and the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) dropped 8.7%, amid a hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation reading and concerns over AI valuations and infrastructure spending. The article notes that Microsoft, Amazon and Alphabet have ties to the two labs through investments and cloud infrastructure. As of early Thursday, Stocktwits retail sentiment was “bullish” on Anthropic and “bearish” on OpenAI.
- Nasdaq Rises After Anthropic Finally Reveals Its IPO Filing
- Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures fall as oil climbs, investors weigh Tesla, Meta earnings
US stock futures fell Thursday, led by the tech sector (XLK), as oil rose to a five-month high and investors weighed earnings from Tesla (TSLA) and Meta (META). Dow Jones futures dropped 0.7%, S&P 500 futures fell 1%, and Nasdaq-100 futures declined 1.7% as semiconductor stocks slid, reversing Wednesday's gains. Meta announced a 2-for-1 stock split, giving Class A shareholders one non-voting Class C share, and its stock fell in pre-market trading. Tesla shares dropped despite an earnings beat, as investors weighed lower 2026 capex against higher spending in 2027 and 2028 on Optimus, Cybercab and Terafab. According to people familiar with the plans, Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) could file its S-1 as soon as Friday, paving the way for what could be the largest IPO in history, while Brent crude jumped after a deadly attack at a Saudi Arabian oil field and WTI traded above $98 a barrel.
- Anthropic kicks off mammoth stock market float despite investor jitters
Anthropic filed its S-1 in the US on Monday, setting out its pitch for a first public stock sale expected to be one of the biggest listings in history, with shares to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT. The move comes amid investor jitters about AI, after shares of 'neocloud' data-centre companies tumbled in recent weeks and Meta shares slumped after it unveiled plans to spend hundreds of billions on the technology. The 335-page filing shows rapid revenue growth but a loss of $80.7bn (£60.5bn) in the first half of 2026, compared with $13bn a year earlier. Anthropic is reportedly seeking a valuation of $1.5tn to $2tn and could raise as much as $100bn, which at the top end would exceed the $86bn SpaceX raised in June. The company says its technology could cure diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's, but also warns that AI could destroy jobs and may pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity.
- AI giant Anthropic files for blockbuster IPO
AI giant Anthropic, maker of Claude, has filed for an IPO and aims to price the offering in mid-November. Its S-1 shows first-half 2026 revenue of $16.3 billion and a net loss of $80.7 billion, while the share count and price range have not been disclosed. The FT reports investors expect a valuation of $1.5–1.75 trillion, and Fox Business says pricing on Nov. 19 or 20 remains on track. Chip stocks rose premarket, with Nvidia up 1.4%, Broadcom up 1.5% and Micron up 2.3%. On Hyperliquid, the ANTH contract spiked to about $1,980 around the filing time, then fell roughly 6% to about $1,857 within minutes, with about $12 million traded over 24 hours.
- Billionaire Paul Tudor Jones warns AI and IPOs could hit stocks hard in 2027. Protect your nest egg now
Paul Tudor Jones told CNBC on Oct. 13 that 2027 will be very challenging for the stock market, as AI fundraising and big IPOs add shares that compete for investors' money. He noted that buybacks and acquisitions have long removed shares, such as Apple's repurchase of 402 million shares for $89.3 billion in fiscal 2025, but this balance could shift as SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI prepare offerings. He said he will be short the whole year, betting on falling prices, and compared the current market to 1999. The article stresses that his warning concerns what could follow, not an immediate collapse, and that he still sees room for a strong finish to 2026.

- Retiree Alleges Morgan Stanley Covered Call Strategy Cost Him His Apple and NVIDIA Shares; Reif Law Group Files Financial Elder Abuse Claims
Reif Law Group filed a petition in San Diego County Superior Court seeking FINRA arbitration against Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC and advisor Nicholas S. Westendorf on behalf of Michael J. Massery, a 77-year-old retiree. The petition alleges the firm placed him in a covered call strategy meant to protect his stock, then kept rolling the options for four years after he asked in writing to exit, until his Apple and NVIDIA shares were called away. Over more than 200 option transactions, the cost of exiting allegedly grew from about $434,000 to about $1 million. In December 2024, roughly 8,000 NVIDIA and 9,000 Apple shares were called away at strike prices far below market value, followed by a tax bill on the gains. The petition quotes an advisor's email stating the investor should have never been put into this strategy.
- Bretton Fund’s Views on Mobility Global (MBGL)
The Bretton Fund's Q3 2026 letter reports a -1.75% return for the quarter, versus +2.30% for the S&P 500. Microsoft and SAP were the strongest contributors, while Eagle Materials and Dream Finders Homes were hurt by a delayed housing recovery. The letter highlights Mobility Global (NYSE:MBGL), spun off from S&P Global at the start of July and renamed in February 2026, and says management judged its auto business to have little overlap with S&P Global's capital markets businesses. The stock closed at $18.76 on October 23, 2026, with a market capitalization of $5.53 billion, and returned 5.63% over the past month. Three hedge fund portfolios held it at the end of the second quarter, versus zero in the previous quarter.
- Elon Musk Warns Of 'Guppy-Level Death' For Hundreds of AI Cloud Firms. Others Are Not so Sure.
Elon Musk warned that more than 200 specialized AI cloud companies, known as neoclouds, could face widespread failures and consolidation as financing becomes harder to obtain. He said debt markets have almost entirely closed to firms without substantial revenue outside the AI data center business. CoreWeave and Nebius each lost more than 30% of their market value this month, and IREN fell about 40%, as the cost of insuring CoreWeave's debt against default rose sharply. Recent deals include CoreWeave's $4.2 billion convertible notes, a $3.5 billion Citi facility for Nebius and $2.8 billion in GPU financing for IREN. Nvidia and industry executives, however, say demand for computing power remains strong.
- JetBlue Airways Tumbles 16% as Creditors Hire Restructuring Advisers; United Airlines Rises 3%, Delta Edges Higher
JetBlue Airways shares fell 16% to $2.22 after a creditor group preparing for a possible restructuring hired restructuring advisers, according to a Wall Street Journal report; the group includes holders of senior bonds and a first-lien loan. Those bonds, backed by collateral tied to the loyalty program, have fallen to record lows. JetBlue has not commented on the hirings, and its CEO said in April the company was not considering bankruptcy this year. Meanwhile, United Airlines rose 3% to $100.75, Delta Air Lines rose 2% to $78.19, and the U.S. Global Jets ETF gained 0.8%. The article points to JetBlue's third-quarter 2026 report as the next key test.
- 98% Of Nvidia Analysts Have “Buy” Rating
Most analysts remain bullish on Nvidia: 54 of 55 on MarketBeat and 59 of 62 on Stock Analysis, a range of over 95% to 98%. The average price target is $325, versus a current price of $211, implying a potential rise of about 54%. The stock is up 725% over five years but has not beaten the S&P 500 this year. Revenue in the latest quarter rose 106% to $96 billion, yet skeptics such as Apollo economist Torsten Slok argue AI spending has delivered no financial payoff outside tech. Critics also say Nvidia's demand partly depends on its investments in its own chip customers, and by one count, communities opposed to data centers have delayed 200 of them this year.
- South Korea weighs fourth delay on its crypto gains tax, pushing it to 2029
South Korea is leaning toward delaying its crypto gains tax, due to start in January, until 2029, which would be a fourth postponement. Officials are concerned that users of domestic exchanges would bear most of the burden because the U.S. will not share crypto trading data until 2029, and one official said almost half the crypto market is in the U.S. Deputy Prime Minister Koo Yun-cheol had said in July the tax would take effect in January 2027, but his successor, Lee Hyung-il, said he would gather views from parliament, experts and industry. Under current rules, annual net income from crypto transfers or lending is taxed at 20%, or 22% including local income tax, after a 2.5 million won ($1,887) deduction. Parliament must approve the change, with a final decision expected by early December.
