The AI supply chain on November 12 landed on four layers, and only three of eight items carry a price that closed in this window. Nvidia said Jensen Huang had resigned as president and CEO with the CFO stepping in, the most watched item of the day; yet the long-term signing happened on the power side, where a planned 4.4 GW gas plant in Pennsylvania put its operations out to contract and Riot's quarterly filing named Anthropic as the tenant of its 910 MW campus for the first time.

Riot's 10-Q names Anthropic as the Corsicana tenant for the first time
Launch | Completed | Riot Platforms 10-Q (SEC) 2026/11/12
Riot Platforms (Ticker: RIOT) wrote the tenant's name, Anthropic (private, no ticker), into its quarterly filing for the first time and disclosed base rent of $130.0 per kW a month escalating 3% a year, with 910 MW delivered in three phases; the $28,000M total contract value was published when the lease took effect on November 4 and is not counted this issue.
Today's Takeaway
Countable deal value this issue is $3,000M, with $10,000M excluded. All three counted items are primary-market rounds or a single compute contract, and none of them is a purchase or a merger; the excluded figure is initial capital for the Homer City campus, which is capital spending rather than deal value. The two biggest numbers on the page, $28,000M and $26,100M, are a lease total published on November 4 and a remaining obligation balance, and neither moved today. The handover changed no delivery dates either, with the first 400 MW at Corsicana still set for September 2027.
How to use this next time: when a big headline lands, separate what it changes in expectations from what it changes in cash flow. The company swapping chief executives today is the largest one on the board, yet the contracts actually signed sat in plant operations and a data hall lease, and those run on a completely different clock. Keeping "value published today" apart from "value closed today" stops you from reading a lease signed last week, or a backlog balance, as fresh demand.
