|
|
|
Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial newsAnthropic confidentially files for initial public offering on US stock marketAlphabet's massive share sale, and Anthropic's IPO, are also reminders that an AI crash would have serious consequences for investors, both large and small.Ipek Ozkardeskaya, senior analyst at Swissquote, explains:The AI race is no longer being funded solely by venture capitalists willing to lose money for a decade in exchange for a shot at changing the world. The financing is becoming increasingly institutionalized. Just yesterday, Alphabet announced plans to raise $80 billion to fund its AI ambitions – one of the biggest stock deals in history – including a $10 billion investment from Berkshire Hathaway.This means that AI is increasingly becoming a financing story as well. And the deeper traditional finance gets involved, the more the AI story shifts from a technology narrative toward a financing and credit narrative.AI is driving an expansionary moment for Alphabe...

Taiwan Semiconductor April Sales Grow At Slowest Pace In 6 Months
Taiwan Semiconductor, world's largest dedicated independent semiconductor foundry, posted its slowest pace of monthly revenue expansion since October, highlighting the challenges of sustaining torrid AI-fueled pace of growth.
Sales in April rose 17.5% to NT$410.7 billion ($13.1 billion), their smallest rise in about six months. While the rise reflects just 30 days of business and its revenue can fluctuate month-to-month, the drop was notable; analysts expect the company's June-quarter revenue to grow almost twice as fast, or at about 35% which means that May and June sales will have to be gangbusters to compensate for April's slowness.
Taiwan's largest company has become an essential player in the global AI industry by making cutting-edge semiconductors for the likes of Nvidia and AMD. That's as Alphabet, Amazon.com, Meta and Microsoft said they are setting aside $725 billion for AI this year, significantly more than prev...
