Anthropic May Challenge SpaceX's IPO Record: Are Gross Margin and Compute Commitments the Key Support?
To surpass the IPO record set by $SpaceX(SPCX.US)$, Anthropic would need an offering valuation of more than $1.8 trillion, and a funding size exceeding $86 billion including the greenshoe mechanism. Revenue in the second quarter rose from $4.73 billion in the first quarter to over $11.5 billion. Its annualized revenue run rate in July surpassed $65 billion and it also recorded positive adjusted operating profit. Growth was mainly driven by demand for Claude Code and enterprise-level APIs. Enterprise customers contributed about 80% of revenue. However, Anthropic has already signed compute agreements totaling roughly $80 billion with Lambda, $Hut 8(HUT.US)$, and Nscale. Its estimated gross margin is about 44%, which would need to be raised to levels close to Microsoft’s $\,MSFT\, (about 70%) to sustainably cover compute commitments extending beyond 2030. Relevant details on cash flow, customer concentration, and contract duration are still pending disclosure in the S-1 filing.
