What to watch in Anthropic’s October ARR: 73 billion dollars is the starting point, and growth quality matters more than usage volume

TMT Breakout believes Anthropic’s customer mix has improved and its cash generation has strengthened. The next question is whether October annualized revenue can exceed 73 billion dollars. Third-party data points to a recovery in spending, but price cuts, sample coverage and changes among large customers will determine whether this growth translates into overall revenue.

Agibot moves toward a ten-billion-yuan revenue target; humanoid robot scale-up will depend on orders and task data

Agibot has set a revenue target of 10 billion yuan for 2027, ten times the 1 billion yuan achieved in 2025. Xiangcai Securities is optimistic about humanoid robots as a practical application of physical AI. In the near term, it is focused on mass production of components; long-term competition will depend on whether model capabilities and real-world operational data can reinforce each other.

Robots enter production lines and AI applications accelerate as trading contracts beneath the technology theme’s popularity

Heavy-duty robots are beginning to cover multiple production-line processes, while competition in AI applications is extending to products and commercialization. But market turnover contracted on 26 October, and the numbers of high-turnover robotics and AI companies fell at the same time. Industrial progress and trading activity need to be assessed separately.

Bernstein: Instacart sale rumors: DoorDash is better placed to take over, but why is buying now still difficult?

Bernstein sees the business logic of Instacart joining a larger platform, but is skeptical of a near-term deal: Uber’s financial commitments are tight, while DoorDash is busy with integrations and continues to build its own business. The bank’s acquisition scenario implies 68–74 dollars per share; a deal also depends on buyer interest and regulatory approval.

Bernstein: Can Spotify’s profits break away from the traditional media cycle? Bernstein bets on a harvest year in 2027

Bernstein raised its Spotify price target from $625 to $725, primarily on the basis that cost controls and an improved content mix could lift 2027 operating profit about 5% above consensus. However, third-quarter profit and cash flow were below consensus, and the cost of renewing record-label agreements is another key variable.

Bernstein: AI hardware trades remain crowded: networking equipment stands out, while low crowding has different causes

Bernstein finds that, even after some trades have unwound, crowded long positions remain concentrated in semiconductors and networking equipment. The key distinction is which companies can deliver results sufficient to meet high expectations, and which less-crowded names face operating pressure or limits on the reliability of their scores.

Morgan Stanley: Shennan Circuits’ third-quarter profit beats expectations: AI share rises to sixty percent, ABF moves toward quarterly profitability

Net profit in the third quarter of 2026 was 18% above the market consensus, driven mainly by a higher share of AI PCBs, rising capacity utilization and narrower ABF losses. Optical module PCB upgrades and packaging substrate capacity expansion offer room for further growth, but the ramp-up of 1.6T products and ABF profitability each have their own timing thresholds. Morgan Stanley maintains its Equal-weight rating.
