According to a disclosure document from August 15, Claude chatbot developer Anthropic reported preliminary second-quarter 2026 revenue exceeding $11.5 billion, a roughly 14-fold surge compared to the same period last year. The filing also revealed that Anthropic achieved positive adjusted operating profit in the second quarter of 2026, marking a critical transition from loss-making expansion to profitable self-sufficiency. Reports indicate that Anthropic has initiated IPO preparations, with market expectations suggesting its valuation could surpass SpaceX, potentially targeting the largest IPO in global history. This data not only represents a milestone for Anthropic's commercialization but also serves as a landmark case for the AI industry evolving from "burning cash for scale" to "converting scale into profit," injecting new valuation narratives into the entire AI sector. With a significant release of enterprise willingness to pay, large language model companies are increasingly demonstrating impressive cash flow generation capabilities, potentially opening room for valuation re-rating in the global AI sector. Meanwhile, China's domestic AI large model industry has also been undergoing rapid iterative changes recently, with the pace of commercialization steadily accelerating. On August 13, DeepSeek confirmed that DeepSeek-V4-Flash and DeepSeek-V4-Pro will raise prices on August 17, implementing peak-valley pricing, while also releasing the Harness (tool framework) developer preview. A day later, GLM-5.3 was released, which, based on the same foundation model as GLM-5.2, improved programming capabilities by 50% solely through post-training. On the same day, Alibaba's Qwen officially open-sourced the Qwen3.8 series models, including the newly open-sourced 27-billion-parameter model, Qwen3.8-27B, which can run on consumer-grade graphics cards. Driven by the resonance between global and domestic large model industries, the value of the entire AI supply chain is poised for a comprehensive re-evaluation. On one hand, the maturation of large model technology and performance improvements directly benefit leading model development companies, continuously repairing profit expectations. On the other hand, model iterations and upgrades drive sustained expansion of computing power demand, boosting the prosperity of the AI hardware supply chain. Core sectors such as storage chips, PCBs, and semiconductor equipment are expected to benefit continuously from AI industry capital expenditure expansion, ushering in opportunities for earnings growth.
