BAC Stock News HeadlinesWall Street's New $63 Billion AI Deal Reveals a Risk That Could Spread Beyond Tech1 hour ago | 247wallst.comINVESTOR ALERT: Pomerantz Law Firm Reminds Investors with Losses on their Investment in Bank of America Corporation of Class Action Lawsuit and Upcoming Deadlines - BAC2 hours ago | prnewswire.comThe Claude AI company doubled in value... you missed itIn May, Anthropic raised money at a $965 billion valuation. Now, ahead of its IPO, investors are reportedly discussing a valuation of $1.8 to $2 trillion. That’s roughly double in about five months. And not one ordinary investor got to own a share of it. That’s how these mega-IPOs work. The biggest gains happen privately, before the public is allowed in. By the time you can buy, the price already assumes almost everything goes right. So I’m not chasing the IPO.
