Current read
Anthropic plans an IPO at up to $2 trillion valuation, which would be the largest ever if realized, but pricing is unconfirmed and some analysts call the valuation absurd.
Reports indicate Anthropic has confidentially filed an S-1 with the SEC, targeting a valuation up to $2 trillion, with roadshow possibly starting the week of November 9 and listing before Thanksgiving, which would surpass SpaceX as the largest IPO ever. The company reported Q3 2026 revenue of $16.8 billion and adjusted profitability, with annualized revenue around $65 billion, but New Constructs estimates its value at only about $150 billion, calling it the 'most absurd IPO of 2026.' Final pricing and listing dates are unconfirmed, and financials are not independently audited.
How we read it
Anthropic has confidentially filed an S-1, targeting up to $2 trillion valuation, with roadshow planned for November, which would be the largest IPO ever if realized.
The company reported Q3 2026 revenue of $16.8 billion and adjusted profitability, with annualized revenue around $65 billion, but an independent firm disputes the valuation.
Final pricing and listing dates are unconfirmed, and financials are unaudited, so whether it becomes the largest IPO ever remains uncertain.
