Anthropic, which officially filed to go public at a rumored valuation of up to $2 trillion dollars just a week before the elections.

As Bloomberg reports, those prospects are in free fall as the chaos takes hold. Some investors are now weighing bids that would value Anthropic as low as $1.1 trillion. While that’s still a huge valuation for a company that lost over $80 billion in the first half of 2026 alone, it’s a massive drop compared to the previously unbridled enthusiasm surrounding the firm’s IPO.

I wonder about how other sectors are affected by this hype that are in the top 500.

I would wonder if a value stock index would be a better idea. Or international.

    Me too. Banking/finance is the one I'm most worried about. Value stocks and international stocks are both valid for an overall portfolio strategy, but they don't fill the same large cap criteria that the SPX covers.

    Even total market funds are heavily invested into AI, so it requires breaking investments out into the composition you're after, sans AI.
