ANTHROPIC'S SLOWING GROWTH DEEPENS AI STOCK SELLOFF
Anthropic's quarterly revenue reportedly rose 45% to $16.8 billion, slowing sharply from triple-digit growth in the previous quarter.
The slowdown raises concerns about its reported $2 trillion valuation target and broader AI valuations.
AI stocks fell in premarket trading, with AMD ($AMD ), Micron ($MU ), Sandisk ($SNDK ), Seagate ($STX ) and Western Digital ($WDC ) down 3–4%.
The key concern: Slowing AI growth, rising interest rates and mounting debt are putting pressure on the sector.
