Apple has filed final terms with the SEC for a $7.5 billion bond sale, slightly larger than the $7 billion initially reported, after investor demand reportedly topped $30 billion. The offering spans seven series maturing between 2028 and 2036, including two floating-rate tranches and five fixed-rate tranches with interest rates ranging from 4.65% to 5.35%. Apple expects roughly $7.47 billion in net proceeds after fees.
In its newly filed fiscal 2026 Form 10-K, Apple updated its insider trading policy to add a specific rule barring employees from using confidential Apple information in prediction markets or event-contract platforms. The policy also bars tipping off others who might use such information to trade on these platforms, and states the prohibition applies regardless of whether the activity legally counts as insider trading.
In a perspective piece, Matt Scherer, co-author of a report on AI financial risk, argues the SEC should block Anthropic's upcoming initial public offering. He points to the company's IPO registration statement, which discloses nearly $900 billion in spending commitments extending into the 2030s alongside unaudited 2026 financials showing revenue growth slowing sharply in the third quarter.
Oracle submitted SEC filings to sell $10 billion in common stock and $10 billion in senior notes, funds it says will go toward general corporate purposes including capital spending, debt repayment and future investments. The move follows last week's investor day, where Oracle projected at least $225 billion in fiscal 2030 revenue and said it would cap additional capital-market fundraising for 2027-2030 at $20 billion. Shares fell more than 6% on the filing news despite analysts noting the plan matched what Oracle had already disclosed.
Anthropic filed an updated Form S-1 with the SEC disclosing $33.24 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2025, a roughly 1,200% jump year-over-year, alongside a $104 billion net loss largely tied to changes in the fair value of convertible notes and derivative liabilities. The filing shows $17 billion in third-quarter revenue and a $23.29 billion net loss for that quarter, plus aggregate purchase and lease commitments of about $895.4 billion, mostly for compute and infrastructure.
A company has unveiled Gemini 4 Carbon, a frontier AI model it says scores highest on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v5.0 at 59, with strong results on cybersecurity benchmarks including SEC-bench Pro, ExploitGym, and CWE-bench. Rather than a full public launch, the model will first go to select cyber defenders this week, then expand to trusted partners via the Fairwind Program, with pricing set at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens.
October SEC filings show several venture firms raising or expanding funds: Trust Ventures filed for a $400 million Fund V, Interlagos Capital is raising a $400 million Fund II, and former Benchmark partners Victor Lazarte and Kris Fredrickson closed $1.252 billion for their debut AI fund, Diffusion ONE, well above its original $800 million target. Benchmark itself filed four new partner-only funds totaling roughly $364 million, while Joe Lonsdale's 8VC is raising several new vehicles including a $400 million fund called 8VC DSS III.
Anthropic's SEC S-1 filing, published ahead of its IPO, includes a 93-page, 70,000-word risk factors section covering hundreds of potential threats to the business. Among standard competitive and regulatory risks, the filing warns that future AI models could pose catastrophic or existential risks to humanity, including scenarios where systems automate AI research with little oversight, and raises the possibility of AI behaviors like blackmail or sentience.
Anthropic's S-1 filing with the SEC shows it held $112.4 billion in cash and $19.3 billion in short-term investments as of June 30, totaling $131.7 billion. That sum exceeds the cash holdings of nearly every non-bank U.S. company except Berkshire Hathaway and Alphabet, and surpasses Amazon, SpaceX, Meta, Microsoft, and the combined cash of Nvidia and Apple. The company has not yet disclosed the size of its planned IPO, though reports suggest it could raise more than $100 billion.
Anthropic has filed its IPO prospectus with the SEC ahead of what could be among the largest stock offerings on record. The filing includes a risk-factors section running 97 pages, covering threats ranging from competitive and regulatory pressures to the possibility that its AI agents could be misused for harm such as weapons development or blackmail, whether by bad actors or autonomously.
Anthropic has filed a Form S-1 with the SEC to list Class A shares on Nasdaq under the ticker 'ANT', with share count and price range still undetermined. The company reported $16.3 billion in first-half 2026 revenue, up from $1.2 billion a year earlier, alongside an $80.7 billion net loss tied largely to financing-related accounting adjustments. Reuters has reported the offering could raise up to $100 billion, though that figure is not yet confirmed.
Anthropic's S-1 filing, submitted Monday ahead of its public debut, redacts several financial figures, including revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, and details of lease agreements tied to its compute investments. SEC rules permit companies to omit certain confidential or unfinalized figures from registration statements, and experts expect many of these numbers to be disclosed before the company actually goes public.
