Anthropic boasts revenue run rate of $30 billion as the Claude developer expands its partnership with Google and Broadcom

Anthropic’s revenue run rate is higher than the trailing 12-month revenues of all but 129 S&P 500 companies.

If it seems like public markets have soured on major elements of the AI trade, maybe that’s because the focus has shifted to the boom’s star performer in private markets.

Anthropic said that its annual revenue run rate — an extrapolation of recent sales over a full year — has spiked from roughly $9 billion at the end of 2025 to more than $30 billion. In the past 12 months, fewer than 130 S&P 500 companies booked at least $30 billion in sales.

OpenAI, Anthropic’s rival, said at the end of March that it was generating $2 billion per month, putting its annual revenue run rate in the neighborhood of $24 billion.

“When we announced our Series G fundraising in February, we shared that over 500 business customers were each spending over $1 million on an annualized basis,” Anthropic said in a press release. “Today that number exceeds 1,000, doubling in less than two months.”

These revelations from the Claude creator came as the firm announced an expansion of its partnership with Google and Broadcom. According to a filing from Broadcom, Anthropic will access 3.5 gigawatts of TPU-based AI compute capacity (read: Google’s custom chips) beginning in 2027.

“This significant expansion of our compute infrastructure will power our frontier Claude models and help us serve extraordinary demand from customers worldwide,” per Anthropic.

Clearly, Anthropic’s recent clash with the Pentagon isn’t standing in the way of its financial performance, with demand for Claude services continuing to crescendo.

SpaceX gets a wave of bullish ratings from Wall Street analysts

SpaceX received more than a dozen positive analyst calls on Tuesday — including from major Wall Street banks — as they initiate coverage on Elon Musk’s space and AI company.

SpaceX went public on June 12 at a $2.2 trillion valuation, the largest debut in history. While the company hasn’t yet posted a profit, it seems to have convinced Wall Street that it will get there and grow its valuation on the way.

Of the at least 17 analysts that gave a rating on Tuesday, all but one gave it a “buy” or “outperform” rating. MoffettNathanson was "neutral."

The ratings come as SpaceX joined the Nasdaq 100 index, a benchmark tech-heavy basket of companies that underpins millions of portfolios. The inclusion adds built-in demand for the stock from index funds and ETFs.

Still, SpaceX fell more than 5% on Tuesday amid a broader sell-off, and is currently effectively flat from its opening price of $150 a share.

Nike sinks to lowest level since 2014 after warning of “challenged” sales environment in Q4 report

Did Nike do it?

Investors had a mixed reaction after the global sports apparel company reported its fourth quarter earnings on Tuesday after the bell. Shares initially rose 5% as Nike beat out Wall Street expectations amid a hefty tariff refund bonus. However, the stock then sank to its lowest level since August 2014 in postmarket trading.

Here are the Q4 numbers:

  • Revenue of $11.0 billion (estimate: $10.8 billion).

  • Adjusted earnings per share of $0.20 (estimate: $0.12).

Ahead of this report, Nike warned that results would be flattered by a one-time tariff refund (now estimated at roughly $0.52 per share for the bottom line). That gave the company an extra cushion in snapping its streak of seven quarters of year-over-year profit declines.

Over the past year, the company had been punished by tariffs on imported goods, stagnant consumer spending, and increasing competition from other footwear brands like New Balance, Adidas, and Hoka.

Outgoing CFO Matthew Friend deemed it an “increasingly challenging operating environment, where sell-through remains challenged.”
