ANTHROPIC'S DRAFT IPO FILING SHOWS REVENUE UP ~15X AND AN $80.7 BILLION LOSS
Here's what's inside, per the WSJ
Anthropic generated about $16.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2026, up from $1.1 billion a year earlier, according to a draft prospectus viewed by the Journal.
It also reported a net loss of $80.7 billion. About $72 billion of that came from accounting charges tied to convertible notes and other instruments it used to raise money.
The other big numbers:
• Nearly $9 billion spent on computing in the first half, more than in all of 2025
• About one-fifth of revenue came from just two customers
• Roughly $450 billion in cloud commitments over the next 7 to 10 years, including $111 billion with Google $GOOGL, $110 billion with Amazon $AMZN and $31 billion with Microsoft $MSFT
• Total future infrastructure costs top $600 billion
About a third of the filing is risk factors, including the risk of AI models causing real-world harm and growing political resistance to data centers.
The IPO could value Anthropic at up to $2 trillion.
$WORX traded 116M shares today. There are 742K shares outstanding.
The warrant stack behind that tape is a real puzzle. 🧵
What's gated:
• The September PIPE shares
• The warrants sold with them
• A sub-series locked behind another series
Three locks, three kinds of key: a filing, a holder's own move, the calendar. Which fits which — and when it turns — is in the report.
There's also a price below which the company can't sell stock without resetting the warrants, and a standstill limiting what it can sell at all.
Every series traced to its exhibit, every gate cited to its clause. Full report on TraderPods: traderpods.org

Good day to open a free TraderPods.org account — our forensic reports on $SGRX, $NWGL and $XLAB are up.
Hard-to-borrow fees are my biggest cost every year as a short seller and they’re the only cost you pay before you know if the trade works. A few cents a share on every locate adds up to a full strategy’s worth of edge over 12 months. Shop it.
I’m picky about where I borrow. Sage’s locates have been great for me; TraderPods members say the same about Zimtra.

JUST IN: SOME ANTHROPIC INVESTORS ARE REPORTEDLY WEIGHING A LOWER VALUATION AHEAD OF ITS IPO
Some investors discussed a valuation of around $1.5 trillion, below the roughly $2 trillion previously expected for its November share sale, per Reuters, citing people familiar with the matter.
At its investor day on Wednesday, Anthropic reportedly told investors its third-quarter revenue rose 45% from the prior quarter to $16.8 billion, and that it was profitable on an adjusted basis.
Some investors were disappointed that growth slowed after revenue more than doubled to $11.6 billion in the second quarter, the people said.
Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
$SPRC — posted a forensic report this morning. Kill line: “an additional Pure Capital note — any session.”
Hours later: 6-K. Not a new note — they repriced the old one. Pure Capital’s $2.02M converts at $1.50 (stock closed $3.63). No cash to the company.
Called the financier, missed the method: the floor in a non-recourse note is only the floor until both sides sign a letter.

@Traders4ACause is hosting some great events!
We will be attending the one in Austin, Texas October 29th. They will also be hosting two other events, one in Chicago October 21st and another in San Diego November 14.
T4AC is one of our favorites because it's a great way to network, learn, and especially give back to some great causes. It is personal to me, specifically, because attending their conference is what gave me the drive and ambition to create TraderPods.org! It's well worth going to.
Their biggest event is their conference held on February 19th – 21st, 2027 at Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, Florida. Definitely worth going to, especially if you give yourself an extra day to enjoy the private beach!! You can see more information by clicking this link:

We hope to see you there! David and I would absolutely love to meet you!

ANTHROPIC'S Q3 REVENUE JUMPS TO $16.8 BILLION
The AI start-up shared its Q3 numbers with investors in San Francisco today, ahead of its anticipated IPO.
It's eyeing a listing at a ~$2 trillion valuation after filing confidentially with the SEC, per FT, Bloomberg and CNBC
$GENK sold its restaurants for $100M this morning. Read the fine print.
Not cash, it’s a note. The $100M can shrink. 12 month handover. Credit line matured 9/25, no renewal filed. And a $25M ELOC with Roth went effective 4 sessions before the PR.
Shorted the pop, covered into the fade. +$6.9K.

INTRO
Hedge fund trader with a hat. 10 million verified on Kinfo. Here’s the top opp of the day.
THE NEWS
$GENK. 8:31 this morning: board approves a binding letter of intent to sell 47 of its Korean BBQ restaurants to Chubby Group for 100 million dollars. Stock closed at 1.45 yesterday, a 52 week low. Spiked to 2.85 premarket.
THE CATCH
Read the release. It’s not cash, it’s a note. The 100 million can shrink, locations can be pulled and part of it is tied to performance. It takes 12 months in 4 phases, while their 13.75 million dollar credit line matured September 25 with no renewal on file. And they have a 25 million dollar ELOC with Roth that just went effective October 8, 4 sessions before this press release.
THE PLAYBOOK
We’ve seen this movie. Same 100 million dollar headline came out non binding in August. Ran to 2.32, then bled to 1.45.
THE TRADE
`Shorted the 10:10 pop in the 2.15 to 2.25 area, added 2.02 to 2.12 when it could hold above VWAP any longer and covered on the way down. 6.9K on the day.
OUTRO
The research is at TraderPods.org. The locates and buying power are at Sage Trader, a US licensed broker, and Zimtra, a prop firm. We partner with both and may receive incentives. Educational only, not trade advice. The hat stays on.
