Anthropic has a new artificial-intelligence model that can help run financial analyses and build spreadsheets. Investors seemed to think Thursday that spells trouble for financial research companies.

The new Claude Opus 4.6 model improves on the coding skills of Opus 4.5 and can be used to conduct research and create documents and files, Anthropic said in a blog post Thursday.

Data and research stocks fell sharply after the announcement. Financial data platform FactSet Research Systems declined 9.1%. Credit-rating agencies S&P Global and Moody's fell 4.2% and 3.3%, respectively. Nasdaq, which is both a data provider and runs the eponymous New York exchange, dropped 3.7%.
