đź’Ľ Anthropic files IPO application on Nasdaq
On October 26, 2026, Anthropic filed an S-1 form with the US SEC for an IPO of Class A shares: the listing is planned on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley as organizers. The price and valuation have not been announced; revenue for the first half of 2026 was $16.3 billion, with a net loss of $80.7 billion, and the second quarter marked the first operational profit.
🌍 For the AI industry, this is a new price benchmark: an expected valuation of approximately $2 trillion compared to OpenAI's $852 billion, and the figures from the S-1—computing obligations of ~$430 billion and 20% of revenue from two clients—will become the first public benchmark for AI economics.
👤 Private investors will be able to directly buy shares of the creator of Claude under the ticker ANT. Terms and pricing will appear in the preliminary prospectus, and some employees, under an unusual lockup, will be able to sell shares on the first day of trading.
