Anthropic Cuts IPO Size to $64.4 Billion After Retracting Erroneous Filing Sent to Banks

Read this in the Market Flux app

Anthropic stumbled at the start of its IPO process on Monday after accidentally sending banks a draft prospectus with incorrect figures, then retracting it and promising an updated filing. The initial leaked document had shown a price range of $70 to $80 per share and a total raise of up to $69.3 billion, figures the company said were inaccurate.

The revised filing, released later the same day, set the offering at 825 million shares priced between $70 and $78 per share, reducing the maximum raise to $64.4 billion. The updated terms imply a valuation band of $1.07 trillion to $1.5 trillion for the AI company.

Separately, a group of major technology firms including Google, Nvidia, Microsoft, AMD, Broadcom, Micron, and TSMC are planning a $26 billion private placement alongside the public offering. The filing misstep has raised questions about investor confidence at a sensitive moment for AI sector valuations, with analysts noting it could add skepticism heading into the roadshow.
