Stock Market Today: Tech Shares Rally After Anthropic Files for Historic IPO -- WSJ
Dow Jones2026/10/26 18:48Anthropic, one of the biggest names in artificial intelligence and the maker of Claude, is moving ahead with its blockbuster initial public offering as early as the week before Thanksgiving.
