According to Jin10, Moderna (MRNA.O) fell 1.4% in premarket trading, giving back its gains.

OpenAI has raised about $180 billion over the past two years, nearly two-thirds of it this year, but some core investors are expected to contribute less in its latest pre-IPO funding round. According to Sina Finance, citing DealBook, a person familiar with the matter said an investment consortium from the United Arab Emirates, including MGX, had committed a single-digit number of billions of dollars and was expected to be the round’s largest investor. OpenAI initially planned in September to raise up to $30 billion at a valuation of up to $1.5 trillion. The company has since cut its fundraising target by at least one-third and lowered the valuation to $1.25 trillion. SoftBank, previously one of OpenAI’s most active investors, is negotiating to contribute only several hundred million dollars, people familiar with the matter said. SoftBank has invested about $65 billion in OpenAI to date, including $30 billion in its $122 billion funding round in March this year and $30 billion in its $40 billion round in March 2025. Coatue, which has also invested in OpenAI competitor Anthropic, is negotiating to contribute several hundred million dollars. OpenAI still expects to complete the round in the coming weeks. The plan is to raise up to $20 billion in two tranches, with the first tranche’s deadline set for this Friday, a source said.

According to Jin10, HSBC strategist Max Kettner, one of the few Wall Street strategists to turn cautious before Thursday’s sharp U.S. stock selloff, said a potential Anthropic IPO could have a greater impact than the U.S. midterm elections. Two weeks ago, Kettner downgraded his equity rating from the highest level of overweight to neutral. He said the overall narrative around the technology sector had turned unfavorable, regardless of how technology companies arrange their capital spending. Despite this week’s sharp technology-stock selloff, he said the fundamentals of the AI trade had not been damaged. After the midterms, Kettner remained cautious and questioned how much market risk the election had removed, given that investors had done little to hedge against it. He said a potential Anthropic IPO in two weeks, if it proceeds as scheduled, could be the event that truly removes market risk; the ideal outcome, he said, would be for the IPO to go ahead on schedule.

A Wall Street strategist who turned cautious on stocks ahead of Thursday’s selloff said a potential debut by Anthropic PBC may prove more decisive than the US midterms, according to Bloomberg.

Atlassian dropped more than 18% as data center revenue was expected to decline approximately 14% year-over-year in the fiscal second quarter ending in December and 16% in the fiscal year ending next June. Axon Enterprise fell nearly 9% after missing third-quarter estimates, issuing weak fourth-quarter guidance, and pledging an additional $1.2 billion investment in Skydio for a roughly 37% stake. Five9 declined more than 17% after lowering full-year adjusted EPS guidance and announcing a $325 million cash acquisition of Level AI. Affirm Holdings dropped 4% despite quarterly results and forward guidance above expectations, as credit concerns weighed.
