GoKawiilAnthropic targets up to $64bn in Nasdaq IPO
Anthropic, maker of the Claude chatbot, plans to sell shares priced between $70 and $78 in an initial public offering on the Nasdaq this month, aiming to raise as much as $64bn. The pricing implies a valuation of $1.1 trillion to $1.3 trillion, below the $2 trillion some analysts had earlier forecast.

The listing arrives as Nasdaq has wobbled following the US midterm elections, with investors worried a Democrat-controlled Congress could slow AI expansion and data-centre growth, and amid broader doubts about whether heavy AI spending will pay off. Analyst Fiona Cincotta of City Index described the fundraising target as 'fairly bullish', suggesting Anthropic remains confident demand for AI will hold up despite the uncertain market mood.
