Anthropic Is Pushing Ahead With Its IPO—Even as Its Valuation Takes a Hit 🚨📉
Despite a sharp selloff in tech and AI stocks, Anthropic is refusing to delay its Wall Street debut. The Claude maker is moving forward with its roadshow and targets a Nasdaq listing under the ticker $ANT next week.
Here is what you need to know about the biggest test for the AI market yet:
• The Valuation Reset: Once rumored to be eyeing a $2 trillion valuation, Anthropic filed to price its shares between $70 and $78—putting its initial target at roughly $1.3 trillion to $1.4 trillion.
• Strong Early Demand: Despite investor pushback over massive infrastructure spending, early institutional orders quickly covered the 825-million-share offering, prompting bankers to consider raising the price range back toward $1.5 trillion.
• Massive Capital Raise: Between the public offering and a $26 billion private placement from tech giants like Google, Nvidia, and Microsoft, Anthropic is aiming to raise around $90 billion to $100 billion to fund its AI compute commitments.
• Explosive Growth vs. Heavy Costs: Anthropic reported $33.2 billion in revenue for the first nine months of 2026, though investors are closely watching its slowing quarter-over-quarter growth and nearly $900 billion in future computing commitments.
Wall Street is about to put a real-time price tag on frontier AI. Is a $1.4T+ valuation justified by Anthropic's growth, or is the market paying too much for AI hype?
