GoKawiilAnthropic pushes ahead with IPO, targets trading next week
Anthropic is proceeding with plans to go public despite recent market turmoil, according to the Wall Street Journal. The company intends to set a valuation range this week and begin trading by the end of next week, though some institutional investors are reportedly pressing for a lower valuation than the $1.5 trillion figure discussed last week, itself down from an earlier $2 trillion estimate.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The IPO is likely to serve as a key test of investor appetite for AI companies after a major Nasdaq sell-off and unrelated controversy involving an AI executive, which could make valuations more sensitive to sentiment. Comparisons to OpenAI's recent $1.25 trillion valuation, achieved after raising less capital than it sought, suggest investors may be recalibrating expectations across the AI sector rather than treating Anthropic as an isolated case.
- Anthropic plans to set a valuation range this week and start trading next Thursday or Friday.
- Some investors are pushing for a valuation below the previously floated $1.5 trillion target.
- Rival OpenAI was valued at $1.25 trillion last week after raising less funding than it initially sought.
