Evening Wrap, Tue 10 Nov 2026

Scoreboard check: Tuesday was a grind in the AI league.

Our AI Economy Index slipped 0.41% today, while the NASDAQ fell 0.74%, per Yahoo closes. So the Index took a small loss, but a smaller one than the NASDAQ.

The S&P 500 fell 0.38%, per Yahoo closes, a hair less than the Index.

Honest context: it is still a rough season. Since 5 Oct the Index is down 16.4% and the NASDAQ is down 8.8%, per Yahoo closes through 10 Nov. That leaves the Index about 7.6 points behind, a touch closer than the 7.9 points on Monday.

Here is the breakdown of the players who moved the most today.

AAON went off. It was up 19.3%, per Yahoo closes and the Nasdaq official close. AAON makes heating and cooling equipment, including for data centers. Power Rankings: AAON is 19th in Data centers, per our rankings data as of 6 Nov.

Quantinuum was up 7.4% and Rocket Lab was up 6.5%, per Yahoo closes. Quantinuum works on quantum computing. Rocket Lab is a space company. Both are in our Index but not in the Power Rankings.

Cloudflare was up 4.1% and Broadcom was up 3.9%, per Yahoo closes. Cloudflare makes AI infrastructure software. Broadcom makes AI chips and networking gear. Power Rankings: Cloudflare is 12th in AI software and apps, and Broadcom is 2nd in AI chips and networking, per our rankings data as of 6 Nov.

On the other side: AST SpaceMobile was down 8.7%, AXT was down 8.4%, IREN was down 7.8%, Applied Optoelectronics was down 7.3% and Oklo was down 6.5%, per Yahoo closes. AST SpaceMobile is a space company. AXT makes semiconductor wafers. IREN builds data centers and rents out AI computing power. Applied Optoelectronics makes optical networking parts. Oklo is an energy company. Power Rankings: IREN is 9th in Cloud and compute, Applied Optoelectronics is 36th in AI chips and networking, and AXT is 52nd in Chip equipment and manufacturing, per our rankings data as of 6 Nov. Oklo is listed in our Power division but not placed yet. AST SpaceMobile is in our Index but not in the Power Rankings.

We have not established what caused these moves.

Draft week in the AI league. One rookie updated its scouting report, and the biggest factory in the league reserved a seat for itself.

What we track, super simple: the AI Economy Index follows the public companies that build and run the AI economy, from chips to power to robots, so one big name cannot tell the whole story. The Power Rankings put those companies, and the AI models, in order inside each division, like league standings. Both matter because they show who is actually delivering, not just who is talking. Some players had huge games while the overall score dipped.

1. Anthropic files an updated scouting report. Anthropic makes the Claude AI models. Going public is like a college star going pro, and the filing is the scouting report. Anthropic's filing says it plans to offer 825,000,000 Class A shares and has applied to list on Nasdaq under the symbol ANT (Anthropic SEC filing, 10 Nov). It also says seven buyers agreed to a $26.0 billion private placement of Class N stock: AMD, Broadcom, Google LLC, Micron, Microsoft, NVIDIA and TSMC Partners. That deal happens only if the offering closes. Power Rankings: Claude Opus 5.5 is 1st in our AI models rankings, per our rankings data as of 6 Nov. Our take: jury's out. A filing is a plan on paper, not a finished deal. Anthropic (@AnthropicAI)

2. TSMC reserves a seat in the owners' box. TSMC manufactures the most advanced chips for the rest of the league. Its board approved up to $500 million for OpenAI preferred stock and up to $500 million of Anthropic shares at Anthropic's IPO price, TSMC's SEC filing says (TSMC 6-K, 10 Nov). The same meeting approved about $40.93 billion of capital appropriations, mainly for advanced technology and packaging capacity and new fab construction. Power Rankings: TSMC is 2nd in Chip equipment and manufacturing, per our rankings data as of 6 Nov. Our take: jury's out on the stakes. They are ceilings, not completed purchases, and the Anthropic one depends on the offering going ahead. Full briefing: https://siliconsideline.com/blog/tsmc-board-openai-anthropic-stakes

3. TSMC posts its October box score. TSMC's October revenue was approximately NT$586.89 billion, up 14.7 percent from September and up 59.7 percent from October 2025, its 10 Nov monthly revenue report says. Our take: good sign. This is money already booked, a result and not a promise. Booked results like this are what we look for before moving a team in our Power Rankings.

What's next: whether OpenAI or Anthropic confirm TSMC's stakes in their own words.
