SCHW Stock News Headlines

The Claude AI company doubled in value... you missed it
In 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. I’m watching where the private investors who already doubled their money put their winnings next.tc pixel
