  1. Anthropic IPO Serves as Swing Vote for Wall Street Bank Stocks

    Anthropic prepares for its upcoming Wall Street market debut later this month, setting up what could rank among the largest initial public offerings in history.

Wall Street bank stocks have recently lost momentum following a summer rally, pressured by signs of a slowdown in deals and trading activity alongside rising interest rates. Meanwhile, investors are pushing for a cautious valuation closer to $1.5 trillion as the company navigates its urgent hunt for AI computing power.
