Financial media tied the gain to a rebound in AI-linked chip stocks after two funding announcements on Monday. As reported by TipRanks, Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom rose after Meta announced plans for a stock offering to raise $95 billion for its AI expansion, and after Anthropic filed for an IPO with the SEC.
According to Meta's free writing prospectus filed with the SEC on October 26, 2026, Nvidia, AMD and Broadcom, named as "Cornerstone Investors", indicated an interest in buying up to an aggregate $5.0 billion of Class A common stock in a $22.5 billion common stock offering. The filing does not say how much each company might buy, and it describes about $35 billion of offerings now alongside a planned at-the-market program of about $60 billion.
Per IBTimes, Anthropic filed a registration statement for a proposed IPO and plans to list Class A shares on the Nasdaq under the ticker "ANT", with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley leading the offering. The report said the Anthropic filing and Meta's share sale revived the AI trade ahead of Big Tech earnings.
In the same release, Nvidia guided third-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue to $108.0 billion, plus or minus 2%, an outlook that assumes no Data Center compute revenue from China.
IBTimes reported that Meta raised its 2026 capital spending forecast to $135 billion to $145 billion, much of it for data centers built with Nvidia GPUs.
Risks
Meta's filing states that the indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, and that each Cornerstone Investor may buy more, fewer or no shares.
IBTimes noted that neocloud companies such as CoreWeave, Nebius and Iren are among Nvidia's significant customers, and that Elon Musk said "debt markets have almost entirely shut off access to money" for AI-dependent companies.
According to The Motley Fool, Nvidia faces charges of "circular financing", which the article compared with financing that contributed to the decline of Nortel and Lucent during the dot-com bust.
The next scheduled market event is the Federal Reserve's two-day meeting, which begins Tuesday with a decision due Wednesday, per IBTimes.
