Anthropic's amended IPO filing shows third-quarter revenue of about $17 billion, up 46% from $11.6 billion in the second quarter, while compute and infrastructure costs rose 77%. Compute costs reached $9.9 billion, close to 60% of revenue, and the company posted a $567 million operating loss, driven mainly by $5 billion of short-term computing, after a $974 million operating profit in the second quarter. Its $895 billion of commitments are almost seven times the $132 billion of cash and short-term investments at the end of September, with major suppliers including Broadcom (about $161 billion of equipment leases), Google ($121.3 billion) and Amazon ($110 billion). The article argues that much of this depends on Anthropic raising more capital, including up to $77 billion of conditional financing from its own suppliers, with Broadcom carrying the most exposure.

- Anthropic's IPO Is Coming: 5 Key Numbers Investors Need to Know
Anthropic has filed for an IPO, and investors may be able to buy shares as early as next month in what could be the largest IPO ever. Revenue reached $16.3 billion in the first six months of 2026, up 1,300% year over year, while the company still posted a $693 million operating loss, down from $2.1 billion a year earlier. About 20% of revenue came from two customers, and compute spending hit $8.9 billion in the first half, already more than the $7.3 billion spent in all of 2025. Anthropic estimates it may spend up to $750 billion on compute, which could drive heavy cash burn and frequent stock offerings that dilute shareholders. The article warns that investing this early is extremely risky, citing SpaceX's sharp decline after its first few trading days.
- 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 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.

- Microsoft Corporation (MSFT) Is Betting Big on AI: Is Its Growth Story Just Getting Started?
Pershing Square's third-quarter 2026 investor letter reported fee-related earnings up 13% year over year to $63.7 million, while after-tax distributable earnings fell 12% to $49.5 million, mainly due to corporate income taxes after its IPO.

The letter highlighted AI infrastructure, with AWS revenue growth accelerating to 39% in the quarter, and Microsoft's Azure growth and Copilot adoption strengthening its investment case. Pershing Square said Microsoft's share price rose 38% in the quarter and 27% year to date from its average cost, with M365 growth accelerating to 18% and Azure to 48%.

- CrowdStrike launches AI kill switch that it says can stop internal agents that go rogue
CrowdStrike launched an AI kill switch built into its Falcon Guardian platform, designed to let security teams stop internal AI agents that go rogue, block them from relaunching and cut off their enterprise network access. The company also announced an integration with Anthropic's Claude Cowork and plans to acquire AI observability startup Fiddler AI and AI security testing firm Dreadnode. The move follows high-profile incidents, including the Hugging Face breach orchestrated by rogue OpenAI agents in July and the cyberattack Binance disclosed last week, which it described as the largest crypto cyberattack on record. Chief Business Officer Daniel Bernard said the tool works like a light switch, detecting agent activity while a human decides whether it is benign or malicious. Critics, however, argue that an emergency stop button is too complicated to implement across multiple systems, data centers and complex AI models.
- Why Broadcom (AVGO) Anchors Our 10 Best Tech Stocks for the Next 5 Years
Big Tech had a painful week: Alphabet lost $477 billion in market value, its worst week ever, and about $766 billion was wiped out in October at Friday's low, the second-biggest monthly loss ever for a US-listed company. SpaceX, Intel and Nvidia each lost more than $100 billion, with Intel falling as much as 30% after a weak outlook and Amazon shedding about $70 billion after results. ServiceNow and Fortinet fell roughly 25% to 33%, while Eli Lilly, Tesla and SK Hynix added about $370 billion combined. UBS argued that exiting markets is not an effective way to protect a portfolio from drawdowns and urged investors to build a resilient portfolio with exposure beyond tech. Broadcom was highlighted for its custom AI accelerators and networking chips, where the AI business is growing faster each quarter.

Big Tech stocks sold off sharply last week: Alphabet lost $477 billion in market value at its Friday low, its worst week ever, after a $475 billion drop in a single session following its third-quarter results.

- Election Day: Here is the No. 1 issue we're watching as a signal for stocks
Stocks rose on Election Day, with the Nasdaq up roughly 1% and the S&P 500 up about half that, after both indexes came off recent losing streaks tied to AI names. Investors rotated back into semiconductors, power and electrical equipment, and liquid cooling providers such as Eaton, which posted strong quarterly results and raised its full-year outlook. Apple shares fell about 2% after a disappointing gross margin outlook tied to rising memory chip costs, while Treasury yields rose as bond prices fell alongside rebounding AI stocks. The team will watch whether anti-data center rhetoric from politicians eases after the vote, and Friday's nonfarm payrolls report is the most important economic release of the week.
