Anthropic Set to Launch IPO Following Massive Revenue Growth
AI research lab Anthropic is preparing for an initial public offering, with plans to price shares on November 18 and begin trading on November 19. The company aims to offer 825 million shares at a price range of $70 to $78 per share, potentially raising over $64 billion and achieving a market valuation near $1 trillion. In a move mirroring SpaceX's recent IPO, Anthropic reportedly intends to allocate 20% of its shares to retail investors. The company has experienced explosive growth, with revenue surging 1,200% year-over-year to reach $33.2 billion in the first nine months of the year. This growth is driven by high enterprise adoption of its Claude AI models, which currently serves nearly 12,000 customers paying over $100,000 annually. However, significant risks remain, including a reported net loss of $104 billion for the first nine months of the year and potential regulatory and litigation challenges.
