Anthropic Starts IPO Roadshow at $1.4 Trillion, Below $2 Trillion Summer Talk

3 articles · Updated · Reuters · Nov 11

Summary

  • $1.4 trillion is the fully diluted valuation Anthropic is pitching as it begins its IPO roadshow, marking a lower target than the roughly $2 trillion figure circulated over the summer.
  • Investor demand still appears strong: earlier orders were reported multiple times oversubscribed, helped by large anchor indications and positioning the deal as potentially the biggest IPO on record.
  • The latest pricing framework points to trading as soon as next week, with Anthropic seeking up to $78 a share.
  • The offering lands amid a choppier market backdrop, with a hot inflation report rattling bonds and NVIDIA shares falling nearly 10% as allegations against CEO Jensen Huang intensify.
