Based on that projection, a $15,000 investment would buy 246 shares and generate $509.22 in dividends, or $727.46 including franking credits.

Anthropic is considering releasing a new AI model as it tries to close the gap with OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Since Astra launched this month, business adoption has risen, with Ramp data showing it accounts for about 13% of enterprise AI spending versus roughly 8% for Anthropic’s Claude Fable.

Nearly seven months into the U.S. war against Iran, several economic pressure points have been breached, including oil above $100 a barrel, gasoline nearing $5 a gallon and diesel topping $6 per gallon.

Economists say the outlook is increasingly uncertain and that an exit strategy is not becoming clearer.

Crypto markets swung sharply over the week, after the CLARITY Act failed and Bitcoin slid to $75K as bearish sentiment built. The Federal Reserve then raised rates for the first time in three years, adding to short positioning and expectations of further downside.

Bitcoin rebounded to $81K, ETH closed above $2,600 for the first time since January 2026, and total altcoin market cap reached an eight-month high.

Anthropic expects annualised revenue to surpass $100 billion in 2026 and is preparing for a stock-market debut as soon as November, the New York Times reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Its revenue run rate reached $65 billion by the end of July, up from $9 billion at the end of 2025. The increase reflects growing adoption of Anthropic’s Claude AI software by business customers to streamline coding and other workplace tasks.

Anthropic’s annualised revenue run rate has surpassed $100 billion, about 50% higher than its pace two months ago, driven by demand for its Claude AI products such as Claude Code and Cowork. The company has signaled it is moving toward an IPO after confidentially filing on June 1, with trading potentially beginning as soon as November. The run-rate figure is a projection based on recent sales and does not mean Anthropic has already booked $100 billion in revenue.
