Anthropic boasts revenue run rate of $30 billion as the Claude developer expands its partnership with Google and Broadcom

Anthropic’s revenue run rate is higher than the trailing 12-month revenues of all but 129 S&P 500 companies.

If it seems like public markets have soured on major elements of the AI trade, maybe that’s because the focus has shifted to the boom’s star performer in private markets.

Anthropic said that its annual revenue run rate — an extrapolation of recent sales over a full year — has spiked from roughly $9 billion at the end of 2025 to more than $30 billion. In the past 12 months, fewer than 130 S&P 500 companies booked at least $30 billion in sales.

OpenAI, Anthropic’s rival, said at the end of March that it was generating $2 billion per month, putting its annual revenue run rate in the neighborhood of $24 billion.

“When we announced our Series G fundraising in February, we shared that over 500 business customers were each spending over $1 million on an annualized basis,” Anthropic said in a press release. “Today that number exceeds 1,000, doubling in less than two months.”

These revelations from the Claude creator came as the firm announced an expansion of its partnership with Google and Broadcom. According to a filing from Broadcom, Anthropic will access 3.5 gigawatts of TPU-based AI compute capacity (read: Google’s custom chips) beginning in 2027.

“This significant expansion of our compute infrastructure will power our frontier Claude models and help us serve extraordinary demand from customers worldwide,” per Anthropic.

Clearly, Anthropic’s recent clash with the Pentagon isn’t standing in the way of its financial performance, with demand for Claude services continuing to crescendo.

Workday jumps on positive Q1 earnings under returning CEO

Workday spiked as much as 10% after-hours on Thursday as the B2B software-as-a-service company announced first-quarter results.

Here are the numbers:

  • Q1 revenue of $2.54 billion (compared to analyst estimates of $2.51 billion).

  • Q1 adjusted earnings per share of $2.66 (estimate: $2.51).

  • Q1 subscription revenue of $2.35 billion (estimate: $2.33 billion).

This was Workday’s first quarter with its returning CEO, cofounder Aneel Bhusri, who retook the reigns in February of this year. It was also a test to see how the company’s ongoing AI pivot has been going, as AI investment often comes with steep costs that may not initially be fully counterbalanced by savings through efficiency.

Workday has been trading down 40% since the beginning of 2026.

In February, the company also cut about 2% of its global workforce (~400 positions) — which follows larger-scale layoffs last year as the company leaned into AI.

The software company is also still litigating a nationwide class-action lawsuit that alleges it uses said AI to algorithmically discriminate against certain job seekers based on age, race, and disability (which the company disputes).

Looking ahead, the company said it projects 2027 subscription revenue outlook of $9.925 billion to $9.950 billion, on par with analyst estimates.

“Our focus remains on executing on our agentic AI roadmap while driving operational efficiencies as we scale,” said CFO Zane Rowe. The company said in a Q4 earnings call that AI was involved in roughly half of all customer base transactions.

US gas prices rise again, sitting at their highest levels in 4 years ahead of Memorial Day weekend

Just days away from Memorial Day weekend, the national average of US gas prices has risen from a week earlier, sitting at the highest they’ve been in four years.

The price is currently $4.56 a gallon, up $0.03 from last week and $1.38 higher than this time last year, according to the American Automobile Association. Today’s prices are right around what customers were paying four years ago, when the price on Memorial Day was $4.61. Gas prices experienced a short-lived dip earlier this month before rising again.

Gasoline is in high demand ahead of Memorial Day weekend, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed because of the war in Iran, leaving prices elevated as more drivers hit the road. GasBuddy’s Patrick De Haan predicts that gas prices could soon hit $4.80 a gallon soon amid the strait’s closure.

Oil prices ticked up slightly on Thursday, with West Texas Intermediate sitting around $100 a barrel, after plunging on Wednesday.
