Wire reporting: (Reuters, via CNA)
Anthropic disclosed paperwork for an initial public offering on Monday, and Meta Platforms outlined a plan that could raise tens of billions of dollars through equity offerings, according to a Reuters report republished Wednesday by CNA1.
The CNA reprint said the Anthropic share sale has been reported as worth $100 billion as early as next month, and that Meta's plan could bring it as much as $97.5 billion over coming months1.
The same account said AI stocks accounted for nearly 75 percent of the S&P 500 index's return in the first half of 2026, citing an analysis by Carson Group, and that the largest AI companies are proceeding with large funding plans even as recent market reaction has been more cautious1.
CNA credited Reuters as the source1. Reuters' own page for the same headline was not retrieved in full for this filing.
