Broadcom (AVGO) rose 3% to $339.90 in early trade after DA Davidson upgraded the stock to Buy from Neutral and set a $400 price target, citing Anthropic's IPO filing. The filing names Broadcom as a supplier and lessor of Anthropic's AI computing equipment under non-cancelable five-year leases for TPU-based capacity, and Anthropic put cash into a restricted account for Broadcom's benefit in April. Broadcom's AI semiconductor revenue reached $16.7 billion in Q3 FY2026, up 221% year over year, with a Q4 FY2026 outlook of $21.7 billion. The article says this growth depends on a few customers whose funding is not yet secured, and that the leases can accelerate on certain payment or performance defaults. NVIDIA rose 1% to $218.41 and AMD 2% to $544 as chip stocks gained.

- Anthropic Just Filed to Go Public. Should You Buy the Stock?
Anthropic publicly filed its S-1 on Monday and is set to list next month, earning revenue from subscriptions and usage-based token fees, with its Claude Code platform cited as the key driver of growth. The filing's risk section runs more than 90 pages, ranging from the potential to 'destabilize the geopolitical order' to technology exceeding the ability of 'humans to understand and control.' Revenue reached $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026, about 14 times the same period a year earlier and three and a half times its full-year 2025 revenue. The $80.7 billion first-half net loss includes a non-cash accounting charge of $72.4 billion; excluding it, the net loss is $8.3 billion, the operating loss narrowed from $2.1 billion to $693 million, and Q2 posted a $974 million operating profit. The author says he will pass on the IPO, citing concerns that Anthropic may lack a durable moat as AI models become commodities, pressuring prices while the company keeps spending heavily on its next model.
- Anthropic IPO: SpaceX stands to make out big from AI lab's compute spending
In its IPO prospectus filed Monday, Anthropic said it agreed to spend up to $120.5 billion under its SpaceXAI arrangements through 2029, roughly $3.1 billion per month once all capacity is delivered, which it expects in December 2026. The arrangements can be cancelled on 90 days' notice. CFO Bret Johnsen said new compute deployments pay back in less than a year at current pricing, which is tracking slightly above the high end of the $30 to $50 per watt range. Johnsen expects SpaceX to reach $100 billion in ARR by year-end, while Elon Musk sees ARR reaching between $500 billion and $1 trillion by the end of 2027. Musk also confirmed a $40 billion deal for Nvidia chips leased from Apollo Global, and argues SpaceX has an advantage over smaller neocloud providers due to its credit rating and revenue from Starlink and launches.
- 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.

European wholesale gas prices topped 97 euros per megawatt-hour on October 26, the highest since December 2022, as EU gas storage was only 74.62% full on October 25. LNG flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain about 80% below pre-conflict levels following the US-Israeli war on Iran. Trading Economics forecasts 98.20 euros/MWh by the end of Q4 2026, while in the UK one-month gas futures rose 4%, and Brent is around 115 USD a barrel. EDF expects UK household energy bills to rise 27% in January 2027, lifting the average annual bill to nearly 2,200 pounds (2,940 USD). Berlin plans to ask households and businesses to contribute over 3 billion euros across 10 years to an emergency gas reserve, while the EU's Russian gas share fell from about 45% in 2021 to about 12% in 2025.
- Can Anthropic prove it can rival Big Tech? Its balance sheet says yes.
Host Ejaaz Ahamadeen of In the Loop says Anthropic's (ANTH.PVT) S-1 filing shows about $132 billion in cash, far from the near-zero balance rumored in recent months despite heavy compute spending. Around $19 billion of that is reportedly in investment-grade contracts, giving the company funds for large capital expenditure commitments. He compares that cash pile with those of Apple and of Google and Meta before they spent heavily on GPUs, saying Anthropic now plays in the same league. He notes that Anthropic lacks the revenue diversification of Google or Meta, making it a more precarious bet as an IPO candidate because it relies solely on AI.
- Anthropic's 'tension' between profitability & 'public good': IPO expert
Jim Neesen, managing partner of The Connor Group, tells Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi that Anthropic's (ANTH.PVT) IPO filing is unusual because it is a public benefit company. Seven founders hold 50.1% of the company, and a board approved by a trust fund will oversee it, with social benefit built into its mission alongside profit. He sees a group of founders making joint decisions as potentially positive, but says the structure will be tested at this scale and growth rate. He describes a tension between profitability, public good and the quarterly pressure from investors, and notes Anthropic has not yet published its total addressable market (TAM), though he expects it to be north of 10 trillion or 20 trillion, citing SpaceX's claim that AI is over 29 trillion.
- Our Model and Wall Street Agree on Amazon's Target. Now the Quarter Has to Deliver.
The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a $329.70 price target for Amazon, 31.68% above the $250.38 close, with a buy rating at 70% confidence, within 0.61% of the Wall Street consensus target of $331.72. Q3 results are due October 29 after the close, with guidance for $197–202 billion in sales and $22.5–26.5 billion in operating income, versus $17.4 billion a year earlier. Q2 revenue rose 19.6% to $200.61 billion and AWS grew 37% to $42.23 billion, yet shares sit about 12.8% below their 52-week high of $287.20. The bear case of $283.71 points to about $220 billion of 2026 capex, trailing free cash flow of -$7.6 billion and long-term debt of $119.1 billion, while the $378.96 bull case rests on an AWS backlog of $496 billion. The article says the thesis depends on Q3 operating income and AWS growth staying near the Q2 pace.

- The real source of tech market volatility is cash flow, not credit default swaps
Yahoo Finance Executive Editor Brian Sozzi argues that the main driver of volatility in tech stocks is collapsing free cash flow at hyperscalers, not credit default swaps, since that cash will be used to repay the debt they take on to fund AI infrastructure. Citing Evercore ISI's Julian Emanuel, he notes the hyperscaler group of Meta, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Oracle and SpaceX is expected to have free cash flow near negative $200 billion over the next year. Meta posted negative free cash flow in its third quarter for the first time since 2012, while SpaceX burned about $9.9 billion, and neither company signaled a slowdown in spending. Similar commentary is expected from Google, Amazon and Microsoft when they report this week, which supports Emanuel's view of more quarters of negative free cash flow.
