Banks and Blackstone back Anthropic's $63 billion Broadcom hardware purchase
A group of banks and Blackstone announced $63 billion in financing on Oct. 27 so Anthropic can buy Broadcom's XPU AI accelerators and networking products. Broadcom shares climbed 3.3%, AMD rose 4% and CoreWeave gained 5.2% in late-morning trading, helping the S&P 500 rise 0.5% to within 1.3% of its all-time high. CNBC's Jim Cramer said the deal proves lenders remain willing to fund AI spending, but he noted that Anthropic is borrowing to buy equipment from Broadcom rather than paying from its own profits. Separately, Investor's Business Daily reported upgrades for Broadcom and Macom tied to AI data-center business.
Why it mattersThe deal shows credit markets still fund AI hardware at scale, yet it concentrates risk in debt-financed purchases flowing back to one supplier.
Anthropic's SEC filing devotes 93 pages to risk factors, including rogue AI
Anthropic filed its S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Oct. 26, laying out the first detailed look at its finances ahead of a possible stock sale. Of the filing's 335 pages, 93 cover risk factors. The disclosures include bad actors using AI models to build deadly weapons and the possibility that the technology itself goes rogue. CNBC noted that the filing helped spark Monday's rally in AI-related stocks, which continued on Oct. 27 after the Broadcom financing news.
Why it mattersThe filing gives investors a first formal view of the risks at a leading AI lab as it approaches public markets.
Oracle widens Nvidia deal while adding Google, Cerebras and SambaNova chips
Oracle said on Oct. 27 it will expand its Nvidia relationship to 'multi-gigawatt scale' with Vera Rubin servers, while also diversifying its AI cloud hardware. It will offer Google's tensor processing units for the first time, the first instance of Google supplying TPUs for use in a third-party data center. Oracle will also add inference chips from Cerebras and SambaNova and use its own Acceleron networking chips in some Nvidia-based systems. Terms were not disclosed, and Oracle has not said how it will finance the purchases. Its fiscal 2027 capital spending target is about $90 billion to $95 billion.
Why it mattersHyperscalers are spreading spending across more chip suppliers, which could pressure Nvidia's share in inference even as Vera Rubin orders grow.
Financing worries persist for neoclouds despite the AI rebound
Jim Cramer cautioned on Oct. 27 that the AI rally does not clear financing risks. He pointed to neocloud firms such as CoreWeave, Nebius and Iren, which carry heavy debt for data-center buildouts; CoreWeave bonds have yielded as much as 15%. CoreWeave shares rebounded almost 8% on Oct. 27, yet Cramer expects fresh negative stories. He also warned that a calmer bond market, with the 10-year Treasury yield below 5%, could reverse. The Washington Post separately reported that AI companies are borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars and selling new stock while searching for more funding.
Why it mattersBorrowing costs and access to capital now drive AI infrastructure stocks as much as demand does.
Nvidia's CPU business grows as Vera enters production
Nvidia says trailing 12-month revenue from its Grace CPU exceeded $5 billion and that its next CPU, Vera, is in full production. Management expects CPU revenue to more than double in fiscal 2028, pushing Nvidia further into server and PC markets long dominated by AMD and Intel. Nvidia shares fell 4.09% over the past week and are up 16.66% year to date, trading between $163.90 and $243.37 over 52 weeks. In its fiscal second quarter, Nvidia reported revenue of $96.221 billion and guided to $108 billion, plus or minus 2%, for the third quarter.
Why it mattersCPU growth gives Nvidia another revenue line beyond GPUs and challenges AMD and Intel in data-center processors.
Data behind the stories
On the Oct. 26 close, Broadcom was up 2.33% at $329.17, Nvidia up 2.39% at $216 and AMD up 2.80% at $531.28. Over roughly one month, though, AMD is down 15.75%, Meta down 16.11% and Alphabet down 7.89%, so the rebound follows a heavy slide.
