- Anthropic's IPO filing sheds new light on who stands to make money from public debut
Anthropic's IPO filing outlines financing from its biggest backers ahead of a possible November listing that could rival SpaceX's as the largest IPO in history. Alphabet's agreement could provide up to $20 billion, reduced by up to $10 billion if Google buys nonvoting stock alongside the offering, and carries a 14.99% ownership cap that it can waive; no funds had been drawn as of June 30. Amazon holds about $6.2 billion in convertible notes that could convert into roughly 1.84 billion nonvoting shares under a 12% cap, and it has agreed to provide up to $15 billion more tied to computing milestones. Both companies also benefit from business ties beyond equity: Anthropic generated $16.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2026, more than all of last year, but spent nearly $9 billion on computing and infrastructure and has committed roughly $450 billion to cloud computing. A PitchBook analyst said Amazon could 'win twice' through compute sales and investment.
- 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.
- Anthropic’s cloud partnerships are getting messy
According to an S-1 filing leaked to The Wall Street Journal, Anthropic is struggling to secure enough cloud capacity from AWS, Google and Microsoft, which increasingly see it as a competitor rather than a customer. The company believes it could spend more than $750 billion on cloud contracts, some still under negotiation, and is leasing its own data centers and using third-party operators, though it worries those operators have a limited operating history. Its net loss reached $80.7 billion in the first half of the year, against $16.3 billion in revenue, with two customers accounting for about a fifth of sales. The filing also warns that Anthropic could be liable for damages from harmful AI behavior that exceed its available insurance coverage. The company told prospective investors that third-quarter revenue has reached $16.8 billion, up 45% from the previous quarter, and is reportedly targeting a November IPO.
- OpenAI to bring AI models to Google's cloud, in further expansion beyond Microsoft
OpenAI will make its models available to developers through Google Cloud, putting them on all three of the top cloud infrastructure providers. The move follows OpenAI saying less than six months ago that Microsoft would no longer hold an exclusive license to its intellectual property, and Amazon announcing plans to host OpenAI models the day after. Google will bring GPT products to its model garden and Antigravity coding tool in the coming weeks. Google's cloud segment saw annualized revenue growth accelerate to about 82% in the second quarter from 63% in the first, while Amazon and Microsoft posted second-quarter cloud growth of 37% and 42%. OpenAI is courting investors at a $1.4 trillion valuation and targeting an initial public offering.
- Anthropic is leasing data centers to reduce reliance on Amazon, Google, others
Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) says it is increasingly leasing AI data centers under its Anthropic Direct initiative, to meet its large computing needs beyond capacity bought from cloud providers such as Amazon (AMZN) and Google (GOOG, GOOGL). According to its S-1 prospectus made public on Monday, this hybrid model could also bring long-term economic advantages. In November 2025, the company announced a $50 billion investment in which Fluidstack will build data centers in Texas and New York. Meanwhile, data centers face opposition from communities over air and noise pollution and water use, with towns and counties issuing moratoriums or bans, and New York imposing a one-year statewide moratorium. Anthropic lists further moratoriums as a key risk factor and says it is expanding capacity internationally to reduce concentration risk in the United States.

- Microsoft offers voluntary exit packages to 60,000 staff
Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees, roughly a quarter of its workforce, as it cuts costs while investing heavily in AI. Eligible staff are vice president level and below on select teams in the US, Canada, India and Britain, while groups including some data center, sales and marketing employees are excluded. This is the second voluntary offer this year; in April, Microsoft reportedly offered about 7% of its US workforce early retirement, and around 30% of those eligible took it, according to CNBC. Headcount fell from 228,000 at the end of 2025 to 223,000 at the end of June, per regulatory filings, and about 27% of the workforce is eligible for the new offer. The move comes amid tech layoffs at Meta, Amazon, Uber and others, and the company is expected to report quarterly earnings this week.
- 5 Key Numbers From Anthropic's S-1 Filing
Anthropic has filed its S-1 registration statement, plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, and is reportedly looking to raise $100 billion at a valuation of up to $2 trillion. Second-quarter 2026 revenue reached $11.6 billion, compared with $787 million in the same quarter of 2025 and roughly $4.7 billion in the prior quarter; first-half revenue totaled nearly $16.3 billion, a 12.5-fold increase year on year. The filing lists spending commitments on compute and infrastructure totaling $637 billion, the largest being $161.2 billion with Broadcom for TPU compute capacity over five years. First-half gross margin was 85% based on the reported cost of revenue, while R&D costs of about $9.7 billion and sales and marketing costs of $3.8 billion sit outside cost of revenue. In the third quarter, 79% of revenue came from customers outside the top five, and no single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in the nine months ending Sept. 30.
- Tesla stock leaves rest of the Magnificent 7 in the dust, surging to October’s top spot
Tesla (TSLA) shares rose about 6% on Monday, their best day since early July and highest close in about 3 months. The stock is up double digits in October, the best in the Magnificent 7, though it is still down double digits for 2026. It broke above $386, which is both its highest October close and roughly its 200-day moving average, as Barclays raised its price target to $450 from $370 on the view that a merger with SpaceX (SPCX) could give shareholders a takeout premium. No deal has been announced, though Musk confirmed the two companies formed independent committees to explore a combination. The article says holding $386 keeps the rally on course, while a drop below it would turn Monday's gain into a one-day pop, with the next level to watch in the low $450s.
- Nearly 13% of SpaceX's $4.4 Billion Profit Came From This "Boring" Investment
SpaceX reported third-quarter revenue up 161% year on year to $14.6 billion and net income of $4.4 billion. Of that, $561 million was an unrealized gain on its stake in The Boring Company, a Musk-controlled firm, after the company raised $3 billion at a valuation of about $20 billion; the gain equals about 12.7% of net income but brought in no cash. The article argues that net income can overstate underlying performance and that operating income is the more useful measure, which came in at $2.8 billion versus a $273 million operating loss a year earlier. Capex reached $19.6 billion in the quarter, and CFO Bret Johnsen guided to $35–40 billion for the fourth quarter, mainly for AI infrastructure, Starship and satellites. SpaceX also agreed to acquire 800 MHz wireless spectrum from Grain Management, which could help Starlink expand into cellular connectivity.
