Anthropic's amended IPO prospectus, filed with the SEC on November 2, 2026, discloses for the first time aggregate committed spending of about $895.4 billion, mostly for computing power and infrastructure, nearly seven times its roughly $132 billion in cash and short-term investments, while quarterly revenue is $17 billion. Only $69.8 billion is due in the 12 months after September 30, and about $213.8 billion can be cancelled or depends on conditions such as financing or regulatory approval. Suppliers such as Broadcom, Google, SpaceX's AI unit, Amazon and Microsoft are also backers of the startup, and the filing warns that a default under certain commercial agreements could trigger cross-defaults under its credit agreement. Third-quarter revenue was $16,956 million, but higher computing costs turned $974 million of operating income into a $567 million operating loss. The Wall Street Journal reported that institutional investors want a valuation of $1.5 trillion to $1.6 trillion, below the about $2 trillion discussed earlier.

- One Astonishing Element in Anthropic's Prospectus That Investors Shouldn't Ignore
Anthropic has publicly filed its prospectus, bringing a potentially very large IPO a step closer, after investors and analysts previously discussed a valuation above $1.5 trillion. SpaceX's June IPO came with a valuation above $2 trillion. Revenue for the six months ended June 30 rose more than 1,300% to over $16 billion, and revenue last year rose 1,000% to $4.5 billion. The six-month loss exceeded $80 billion, but $72 billion was a non-cash accounting charge, leaving cash burn at a little over $8 billion. The article highlights the governance structure: Class A shareholders generally cannot affect the outcome of votes, while the founders' Class F shares carry 50.1% of total voting power.
- Anthropic Leasing Data Centers To Limit Third-Party Reliance Ahead Of IPO
According to its S-1 filing released Monday, Anthropic plans to lease dedicated data centers at significant scale under an initiative called Anthropic Direct, reducing its heavy reliance on cloud providers Amazon, Google and Microsoft. The company plans to spend between 542 billion and 567 billion USD on computing infrastructure in the coming years, and leased facilities under its control will account for a growing share of that. Anthropic will not build its own data centers; third-party providers will secure sites and power, build facilities to its specifications and manage them, and the company has already entered into some purchase and lease agreements. Last November, it announced a 50 billion USD infrastructure investment through which Fluidstack would develop data centers in Texas and New York, and its compute deals totaled 417 billion USD by the end of 2025. The filing also flags risks, including higher upfront capital needs that could affect liquidity, and exposure to project delays, cost overruns and power shortages.

- Should You Buy Anthropic's IPO on Day 1?
The article argues that Anthropic's upcoming IPO will draw strong investor interest, and that new stocks often jump in the first few days before falling back, as seen with SpaceX (SPCX). It notes that Anthropic's revenue rose to $16.3 billion in the first six months of 2026 from $1.2 billion a year earlier, a 1,305% increase, while losses reached $80.7 billion, about 5 times revenue. The author sees this gap as a reason Anthropic needs public equity funding and says the stock could be polarizing. The author suggests investors could consider other AI stocks, such as suppliers of Anthropic's computing infrastructure.

- The Midterms Are Over. Here's What Chip Stocks Did in the Year After Each of the Last 8.
According to the author, the PHLX Semiconductor Index rose over the 12 months after every midterm vote since 1994 except 2006, when it fell about 5%, with an average gain of about 42%. Four cycles (1998, 2002, 2018, 2022) started with the index down over the prior 12 months and ended among the five biggest gains, averaging about 68%, while the 2006, 2010 and 2014 votes came after gains and produced the weakest results. This year the index is up about 46% over the past year, and it closed Election Day about 28% below its June 22 record of 14,635. The author does not advise pulling out of chip stocks now, but suggests the next 12 months may resemble the quieter post-2010 and post-2014 years with small gains, unless chipmakers' revenue rises sharply.
- Amazon Trades at a Fraction of Costco's Valuation. Is the Discount Deserved?
Amazon trades at a trailing P/E of about 20, roughly in line with the average value stock, while Costco trades at 50 times trailing earnings, richer than most established growth stocks. Amazon's growth has slowed as Alphabet and Microsoft intensified competition in cloud computing, and the market appears to be pricing in a possible end to AWS's strong growth. Costco is viewed as a safe haven as investors worry that AI-related trouble could spread to other parts of the economy. The author argues Costco deserves a modestly higher valuation for its relative safety, but both stocks are pricing in more catastrophe than is realistic. Once these fears pass, Costco may look too expensive and Amazon too cheap, an opportunity the author sees for investors considering a stake in Amazon.
- Microsoft declines Nscale Texas expansion ahead of $35 bln IPO - report
According to the Financial Times, Microsoft declined an option that would have more than doubled its existing contract to rent computing power at Nscale's Ward County, Texas site, a deal potentially worth tens of billions of dollars. Nscale must now find new customers for the site or lose billions of dollars in future revenue. The British AI infrastructure firm posted a net loss of $1 billion on revenue of $141 million in the first half of 2026, and Microsoft earlier pulled out of a $3 billion lease at Nscale's UK site in Essex. Nscale's West Virginia site, central to its $45 billion Anthropic deal, has faced construction delays and local opposition. Microsoft's decision will not affect Nscale's total backlog of $103 billion, though the company is preparing a roughly $35 billion IPO.
- State Bank of Vietnam's Region 2 Steps Up Monitoring of Interest Rates on New Transactions
The State Bank of Vietnam's Region 2 branch will closely track average interest rates on new transactions at commercial banks in Ho Chi Minh City and Dong Nai during the final months of 2026, using actual transaction data rather than only posted rates. Following the Governor's directives, banks must cut average deposit rates by at least 0.5% per year on new deposits with terms of 6 months or more, compared with the period from 11 to 20 October 2026. Banks that fail to comply may face sanctions, including reduced or lowered credit growth targets.
- How the US Economy Could Fare as Trump's Party Loses Control of Both Houses of Congress
After the 3 November midterm elections, the Democrats won control of both the Senate and the House, and could use budget powers and the debt ceiling to pressure President Trump into concessions. Trump still holds major decision-making power over trade and foreign policy, and his vetoes are hard to override because Democrats lack the seats. Incoming Senate Finance Committee chair Ron Wyden said the committee will pursue a tax plan requiring the ultra-wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share, review health care reform, and reaffirm Congress's authority over trade policy. The economy still looks solid, with unemployment around 4% and third-quarter GDP up 3.4%, but inflation remains well above the Fed's 2% target, pushed up by tariffs, the Middle East conflict and AI infrastructure spending. The article notes the overall impact of Trump's policies remains unclear, and without a budget agreement, government operations could halt while the parties negotiate.
