Came across this on Yahoo Finance: sources say Anthropic could publicly file its IPO S-1 as early as this Friday. A roadshow around November would only be on the table after completing the public disclosure process. The offering’s scale is being compared with SpaceX’s, making it one of the biggest IPO tests of this AI cycle.

The financials are also starting to come out: revenue was about $16.3 billion in the first half, with net losses exceeding $80 billion (most of that from non-cash items); third-quarter revenue was about $16.8 billion, and the company has told investors it is profitable on an adjusted basis. Valuation rumors are still hovering in the $1.5–2 trillion range.

Anthropic has yet to confirm a timeline. With bond markets and valuations in the AI sector looking tight these days, if it does open the books, it will still depend on whether the market is receptive.
