BlackJack3D Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) is said to be working on a deal to let some employees sell shares in the company at a valuation of at least $350 billion, a plan that is coming together at the same time as a funding round that could bring in more than $20 billion, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday. The tender offer would allow Anthropic staffers to cash out some equity in one of the world’s most richly valued artificial intelligence startups. The $350 billion valuation is the same one being discussed in the company’s ongoing fundraising, the person said, and is pre-money, meaning it does not include dollars being raised. Anthropic, backed by Amazon ( AMZN ) and Google ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ), has meanwhile rolled out 11 new plug-ins for its no-code, enterprise-focused Claude Cowork agent, a move some investors cited as a key trigger for Tuesday’s deepening selloff in U.S. and European data analytics, professional services, and software stocks.

Always be prepared. It's impossible to reliably and consistently predict stock market crashes. Anyone who could pull that off would be the richest person on Earth. However, we can make educated guesses based on data and past events. So, will there be a market crash in 2026? Let's consider one reason to think so, and what investors can do to prepare. Are equities overvalued? Some investors worry that we are currently in an artificial intelligence (AI) bubble. True, the technology is changing industries, and the corporations leading the charge are cashing in. But shares of some AI companies -- with the most prominent few accounting for a significant weight of major indexes -- have risen too much too fast, leading to an overvalued market, or so the argument goes. Is there any data to suggest that this is the case? Consider the CAPE (cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings) ratio, which is currently right under 40. How does that compare to its historical average? See for yourself. Last time it was that high, the dot-com bubble burst. So, history suggests we may be on the verge of a bear market. What should investors do? Can we predict with certainty that a market crash is on the horizon? Not really. There will be one eventually, for sure, but we don't know when, and it may or may not be caused by AI stocks. Even if we don't know for sure, however, it's important for investors to always be prepared. One reason to do so in this case is to purchase shares of companies that seem undervalued. Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer (PFE 3.34%) is an excellent choice in that regard. The drugmaker has lost significant market value in recent years, as its financial results haven't been strong. The company may still have some tough days ahead. It's entering a period during which it will lose patent exclusivity for important products, according to management.. Two medicines that will lose exclusivity in the next couple of years are Eliquis, an anticoagulant, and Xtandi, a cancer medicine. But ...

A 27-year-old Melbourne man has died at a ski resort in Japan, days after the death of Queensland snowboarder Brooke Day. The man collapsed and suffered a heart attack while skiing with six others in Niseko, Hokkaido, on Monday, according to a spokesperson for a local ski lodge who asked not to be identified. The Australian had been working at a local hotel while in Niseko and was skiing at the back of his group of seven when he collapsed and four other skiers saw him fall and began CPR, the spokesperson said. “He was a talented, kind, gentle and wonderful man,” they said. “There was no accident, collision or fall of any kind.” The man was retrieved by the fire department and pronounced dead at hospital, with local police saying they would investigate, local outlet UHB reported. Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said it was providing consular assistance to the man’s family. “We send our deepest condolences to the family at this difficult time,” a Dfat spokesperson said. The Australian’s death came three days after 22-year-old Day died when her backpack was caught in a ski lift at Tsugaike resort in Otari, near Nagano. The resort’s lift operator said it would fully cooperate with investigations and “take concrete measures to prevent recurrence, such as strengthening our safety management system”. Japan has faced record-breaking snowfalls in recent weeks, with 30 deaths and more than 100 people suffering serious injury nationwide in snow-related incidents since 20 January, the disaster management agency has reported. Niseko’s Annupuri ski resort, near where the man was reportedly found, recorded 290cm of snow near the mountain’s peak on Wednesday and 200cm at its base. The daily Niseko avalanche bulletin noted the snowfall was “exceptionally good” on Monday while warning visitors to avoid skiing off-piste. “The area outside the gates is not a ski resort,” the 2 February bulletin read. Snowfall has delayed train services, forced highways to close and ...

HONG KONG (AP) — Asia shares traded mostly higher on Wednesday despite a retreat on Wall Street on selling of technology stocks, while gold and silver continued to regain ground after a recent sell-off.

SoftBank Group shed 2.2%. Shares of Nintendo plunged 11%, even as the Japanese video-game maker posted strong profits on Tuesday, as investors and analysts expressed concern about whether sales momentum can be maintained for the Switch 2 game console that was rolled out last year. South Korea’s Kospi gained 1.6% to 5,371.10. Samsung Electronics rose nearly 1%, while chipmaker SK Hynix dropped 0.8%. The index has been setting records nearly daily.

Gold rose 3.3%, while the price of silver jumped 7.3%. They have bounced back after tumbling in recent days. “After plunging from record highs amid elevated volatility, precious metals attracted renewed buying interest,” ING Bank analysts Warren Patterson and Ewa Manthey wrote in a note. “Safe haven demand is among factors that will remain supportive of gold prices over the medium term," they said.
