- 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.
- Nasdaq and Small Caps Lead Three Day Surge as Crude Slides and Blue Chips Hold Firm
- Anthropic's IPO could set off forced buying by index funds. SpaceX shows how that played out.
Anthropic has filed its IPO prospectus and applied to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT, at a reportedly discussed valuation of $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion. Under Nasdaq's 'fast entry' rule, which took effect in May, a newly listed company ranking among the 40 biggest Nasdaq-100 members by market value can join after 15 trading days instead of at least three full calendar months, and index funds tracking the index would have to buy. For SpaceX, JPMorgan estimated index funds needed to buy about $4.3 billion of stock, yet its shares still fell about 15% over their first six sessions in the index. The float could be the differentiator: the prospectus leaves the offering size blank, and substantially all existing holders agreed not to sell for up to 180 days. The roadshow is reportedly starting the week of Nov. 9, so fast entry could come as soon as December.
- Anthropic Makes IPO Filing Public, Plans Nasdaq Listing Under ‘ANT’
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.

- 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.

- Bristol Myers Squibb: Bargain Buy or Value Trap?
Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) has a market cap of about $125 billion, but its stock has returned just 6% over five years, while the S&P 500 returned nearly 70%. In the first six months, legacy portfolio revenue fell 6% excluding FX, while the growth portfolio grew 12% organically; overall revenue rose just 3% organically. The stock is up nearly 14% this year, slightly ahead of the S&P 500's roughly 12%. It trades at about nine times estimated future earnings versus the S&P 500's average of 19, and pays a 4.1% dividend with a payout ratio of around 55%. The author views the stock as undervalued, while acknowledging the company is dealing with patent expirations.
- 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.
