Anthropic’s S-1 Says Natural Gas, Not Chips, Is AI’s Biggest Bottleneck. Here’s the Stock That Sells the Engines.
Anthropic's S-1 filing reveals that natural gas supply and pipeline capacity are critical bottlenecks for AI data centers, with the company mentioning natural gas five times in a single paragraph. Energy Transfer, which operates over 140,000 miles of pipelines across 44 states, is positioned to benefit from increased demand for natural gas from AI companies. The company has already signed agreements with Oracle and other data center operators, and its adjusted EBITDA grew 31% in Q3 2026, though high debt of $68.8 billion remains a concern.
