- Jim Cramer warns this overlooked danger could threaten the market rally
CNBC's Jim Cramer warned that a wave of massive IPOs and capital raises could threaten the rally, with $148 billion raised through IPOs so far this year. Anthropic has filed its IPO prospectus, and investors have long awaited public offerings from AI leaders including Anthropic and OpenAI. Cramer fears new share supply could outstrip investor demand, a dynamic similar to the dot-com boom, though he notes today's leading tech companies have real businesses. He also warned that fundraising by Meta, Alphabet, SpaceX and Oracle could draw money away from the S&P 500 and other stocks, even as corporate fundamentals remain strong. He said he is not calling a top, only that he does not like what he sees.
- Broadcom Rises 3% on DA Davidson Upgrade and $400 Target Tied to Anthropic IPO; NVIDIA and AMD Edge Higher
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.
- Is Broadcom Stock Too Dependent On One Business?
AI chips made up 56% of Broadcom's revenue in fiscal Q3 2026, up from 49% in fiscal Q2, mostly from custom chips for customers such as Google, Meta and OpenAI. AI chip revenue reached $16.7 billion, up 221% year over year, while infrastructure software and other chips grew much more slowly. Management guided fiscal Q4 2026 revenue to $34.8 billion, including $21.7 billion from AI chips, which would be about 62% of sales, though this is a forecast. Adjusted gross margin fell 210 basis points to 75% as AI chips grew in the mix, and management expects about 73% in fiscal Q4 due to more memory in custom chips, while operating income rose 92%. Anthropic is expected to become the largest custom chip customer in 2027 and OpenAI the second largest in 2028, and the stock fell 21.0% from April 27 to October 26, 2026 including dividends, versus a 7.6% gain for the S&P 500.
- Broadcom Is Backing Anthropic and OpenAI With $92 Billion. Here's What It Means for Investors.
Broadcom could finance up to $92 billion in chip purchases for Anthropic and OpenAI, including $42 billion of senior debt for Anthropic backed by Broadcom guarantees and the residual value of its chips. An $18 billion junior debt tranche for Anthropic would have no Broadcom guarantee and must wait until Anthropic's financials are public, while Broadcom is also in talks to secure up to $50 billion for OpenAI to buy its custom XPUs. The article argues this strengthens Broadcom's competitive position in custom AI chips but adds risk, since XPUs are less versatile than GPUs and their resale value could be lower. OpenAI plans to deploy 1.3 gigawatts of XPUs next year and up to 5 gigawatts in 2028, while Anthropic is on track to become Broadcom's largest XPU customer next year.
- Jim Cramer's top 10 things to watch in the stock market Monday
Jim Cramer lists the key things to watch on Monday, Oct. 12, as the bull market marks its fourth anniversary, with futures flat and oil rising after a Russia–Ukraine energy ceasefire looked fragile and Iran-backed Houthi militants attacked a Saudi airport. This week brings big bank earnings, September CPI on Wednesday and PPI on Thursday. Utilities are up 5.5% from the Sept. 28 low, and Salesforce was double-upgraded to buy at Bank of America. UBS cut its Western Digital target to $470 from $525, JPMorgan lowered Capital One to $227 from $246, and Melius raised Alphabet to $395 from $375.
- NVIDIA Gets the Attention, but Broadcom Could Deliver the Bigger Surprise
Broadcom reported fiscal third-quarter revenue up 85.5% to $29.591 billion, above consensus, with AI semiconductor revenue of $16.7 billion (up 221%) and fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $34.8 billion. Management outlined AI revenue of about $115 billion in fiscal 2027 and $230 billion in fiscal 2028. The stock still sits about 31.5% below its 52-week high after CEO Hock Tan's October 12 warning about AI investors, and he called land, power and data-center shells a big concern for deployment timing. The 24/7 Wall St. model sets a $419.38 price target, 21.12% above the $346.25 reference price, while shares traded at $337.81 midday Thursday.

- Meta's nearly $100 billion stock sale is a turning point for how Big Tech pays for AI
Meta is selling nearly $100 billion of stock to fund AI spending, including $3 billion from Nvidia (NVDA). The offering includes $25 billion of common stock priced at $625 a share, $12.5 billion of preferred stock paying 6.5% that converts to common stock in 2029, and up to $60 billion of a new nonvoting class to be sold gradually from next year. Last quarter, capital spending of almost $34 billion outpaced nearly $33 billion of cash from the business, pushing free cash flow negative for the first time since 2012. Every shareholder also gets a free nonvoting share for each share owned, a structure that grew out of a dispute over Zuckerberg's taxes and keeps his control at about 61% of votes despite owning about 13%. Meta's five-year credit default swaps hit a record 127 basis points before easing, implying nearly a 10% chance of default over five years, up from about 4% a year ago, according to Yahoo Finance calculations.

- CF Benchmarks brings Wall Street pricing infrastructure onchain, including data used by BlackRock
CF Benchmarks, whose indices underpin BlackRock's bitcoin ETF and CME Group's crypto futures, has launched CFB Oracle to give blockchain applications access to its benchmarks for cryptocurrencies, stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies. The service lets developers build onchain index funds, tokenized portfolios and derivatives without building their own pricing systems, and is available on Ethereum, HyperEVM and Robinhood Chain. Its indices are used by products with more than $120 billion in assets, and the data is digitally signed so applications can verify that prices came from the company. Payward, Kraken's parent and owner of CF Benchmarks, plans to use the service for a U.S. perpetual futures product powered by Hyperliquid (HYPE), which still awaits regulatory approval.
- Tech firms gain on Anthropic IPO optimism; HSBC slumps in London
Tech stocks rose for a second day after Anthropic's IPO filing revived optimism about AI, with the Nasdaq up more than 0.5 percent in early trading while the Dow was little changed. The filing showed first-half revenue surged about 1,300 percent year on year, alongside plans for heavy capital spending. In London, HSBC shares fell almost seven percent after its large profits undershot market expectations, while Mercedes-Benz dropped 3.5 percent in Frankfurt after cutting its full-year outlook. Investors are awaiting earnings from Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, SK hynix and Samsung, and a Federal Reserve decision expected to hold rates on Wednesday, though CME Group's FedWatch tool shows a 70 percent chance of a hike in December.
