Closing Bell: 10/15/26

AI markets whipsawed on Huang's cyber-safety remarks while Anthropic's slowing growth, job-loss warnings, and data-center backlash all signal mounting scrutiny of the AI trade.

• Market whipsaw: Dow, S&P and Russell swung from losses to positive after Jensen Huang's cyber-safety comments and falling yields; semis finished off intraday lows while healthcare led a defensive tape.
• Anthropic IPO watch: Anthropic's revenue grew 45% quarter-over-quarter to nearly $17B run-rate with reported adjusted profitability and ~900% NRR, but growth decelerated from 140% prior pace; IPO seen as soon as November.
