Dario Amodei, CEO and co-founder of Anthropic, speaks during the 56th annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, Jan. 20, 2026. Denis Balibouse | Reuters Anthropic said it confidentially filed its IPO prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission, setting up a potentially historic share sale for investors ready to jump into artificial intelligence . "This gives us the option to go public after the SEC completes its review," Anthropic said in a statement on Monday. "The proposed initial public offering will depend on market conditions and other factors." With its announcement, Anthropic is getting out ahead of rival OpenAI, which is readying its own confidential filing. Elon Musk's SpaceX has officially filed its prospectus and is gearing up for a roadshow this week, with plans to debut next week. Anthropic was founded in 2021 by a group of executives and researchers who defected from OpenAI over concerns about the company's direction. Anthropic is best known for its family of AI models called Claude, which power products like its popular coding assistant, Claude Code. The company has experienced explosive growth this year, announcing in May that its revenue run rate has ballooned to $47 billion, up from $10 billion in annual revenue last year. Last week, it closed a funding round at a $965 billion valuation , topping OpenAI, which was valued at $852 billion in late March. Anthropic captivated Wall Street and officials in Washington, D.C., this year by announcing a model called Claude Mythos Preview , which has advanced cybersecurity capabilities. The company released the model to a select group of companies as part of a cybersecurity initiative called Project Glasswing, and it's been engaging in conversations with senior members of the Trump administration about its capabilities. Some investors and executives worried that Anthropic's growth would take a hit after a clash with the Department of Defense earlier this year led to the company's m...

HoogzPhoto/iStock via Getty Images I have mentioned this ETF before in articles here, but I have not written about the iShares Semiconductor ETF ( SOXX ) yet. It was up 9.1% in Q1, when stocks were weak and when Technology stocks were very weak, and it is up 73.2% so far after two months of Q2, leaving it up 89% year-to-date. Today, I take a close look at SOXX and explain why I think it could reverse a lot of these gains over the past five months. SOXX Is Large and Liquid with a Low Fee iShares, which is run by BlackRock, is the largest ETF provider, and its SOXX is big at $38.4 billion. The ETF, which tracks the NYSE Semiconductor Index, was launched in 2001. The iShares website for the ETF has a lot of information that can help investors learn about it. There is also a Fact Sheet as of the end of Q1. I discuss the price action in the next section, but iShares gives good historical data for the ETF, and its shares outstanding have increased by 15.9% since year-end. In 2025, the number of shares outstanding fell by 9.3% (as the price rose by 39.8%). Over the past month, SOXX has averaged a trading volume of 7.3 million shares per day. At the current price of $569.08, that many shares would be $4.2 billion of value. iShares says that the 30-day median bid/ask spread is just 0.02%. While the 0.34% expense ratio is certainly higher than many ETFs, it is relatively low compared to other semiconductor ETFs. SO XX is the second-largest semiconductors-focused ETF, with the largest being the VanEck Semiconductor ETF ( SMH ). SMH has a slightly higher expense ratio of 0.35%. SMH was launched 10 years later than SOXX. A recently launched ETF, the Roundhill Memory ETF ( DRAM ), which has more than doubled since its start in April, has a 0.65% expense ratio. Two smaller ones, both run by large ETF companies, are Invesco Semiconductors ETF ( PSI ) and State Street SPDR S&P Semiconductor ETF ( XSD ). The Invesco ETF has a fee of 0.58%, and the State Street ETF has a fee of 0.35%....

Salesforce Inc. has a stake in Anthropic PBC worth about $5 billion after repeatedly investing in the ascendant AI startup. The software giant first participated in Anthropic’s fundraising in early 2023 to the tune of about $50 million, and has continually invested in rounds since, according to a person familiar with the issue who asked not to be identified because the information is private. Along the way, Anthropic has become one of the world’s fastest-growing and most closely watched companies. Last week, it announced a $65 billion funding round that valued the company at $965 billion , including the money raised. Anthropic said Monday it had confidentially filed draft paperwork with regulators for an initial public offering. Salesforce and Anthropic each declined to comment. Anthropic’s models help power artificial intelligence features within Salesforce’s software such as Slack, its workplace communication tool, Salesforce said in a February blog post about its investment. “In 2023, betting on a research-heavy startup at a meaningful valuation was not obvious, given there was no market precedent of AI research turning into commercial success,” Salesforce wrote in the post . Another software company that has enjoyed the gains from an early Anthropic investment is Zoom Communications Inc. , which has netted more than $1 billion from its investment in Anthropic’s Series C in early 2023. The total value of Salesforce’s strategic investments across hundreds of companies was $7.8 billion at the end of April, according to a regulatory filing. This was prior to Anthropic’s most recent round that more than doubled the AI startup’s valuation.

Check out the companies making the biggest moves midday: MGM Resorts International — Shares surged 16% after Barry Diller's People Inc. made an offer to buy the company for $48.30 per share in cash. Diller, who also sits on MGM's board, said he will recuse himself from board discussions on the proposal.

da-kuk/E+ via Getty Images Okta’s ( OKTA ) stock just jumped about 50% over the latest week after the latest earnings report . A while ago, I rated it a Buy . Wall Street is suddenly rethinking what Okta can do, faster growth, stronger staying power, maybe better profits than folks thought. Even though the stock’s big move closed some of the gap with other security SaaS companies, Okta’s numbers, where it’s headed and how well it turns revenue into cash still give good reasons to think it can keep beating expectations over the next few quarter. Okta brought in $765 million revenue for the quarter, up 11%. Subscription revenue went up by the same amount. Net retention, based on annual contract value from existing customers, including upsells and net of contraction or churn, hit 107%, up one point from last time. That’s a solid renewal story. The company’s remaining performance obligations, future money under contract, stood at $4.72 billion, up 16%. Current RPO, which is what’s expected in the next year, rose 12% to $2.5 billion. OKTA Enterprise Customers Deepen Okta now has 5,180 customers who each spend over $100,000 a year, a 6% jump. That means they’re getting deeper into the big accounts. The non-GAAP operating margin dropped to 24.9% from 26.7% last year, but more important is free cash flow margin, which actually climbed to 35.5%. That shows they’re turning a bigger chunk of their subscription growth into actual cash. This isn’t a one-time fluke either; free cash flow margin has been moving up for a while with annual free cash flow margin rising from 22% in FY24 to 28% in FY25 and 30% in FY26; Q1 FY27 was strong at 35.5%, though not a new high. OKTA Guidance Stays Solid Management says they’re aiming for revenue in the July quarter to land somewhere between $790 and $794 million, which would be about 9% higher than last year. They expect the non-GAAP operating margin to hold at 26%, with free cash flow margin somewhere around 20% to 21%. So, basically, they se...
