Anthropic IPO: why investors want in before trading starts
$ANTHROPIC is expected to start trading on Nasdaq on November 19, and investors are already lining up. According to Bloomberg, the IPO is oversubscribed several times over. That’s hardly surprising: in the first nine months of 2026 alone, Anthropic’s revenue grew 13x compared to the same period last year.
Why buy early? Before trading opens, shares are sold at the offering price. It’s often set a bit below what investors are willing to pay to help attract demand. That’s why shares often rise on day one: according to research, US IPOs have gained 19% on average on their first day over the past 45 years. But it can go the other way too: sometimes shares fall on their first day.
Buying at the offering price is usually open to funds and major bank clients, not retail investors.
