Anthropic IPO Reported to Be Six Times Oversubscribed as Claude Maker Eyes Historic Share Sale
Read this in the Market Flux appAnthropic's initial public offering has drawn orders approximately six times the number of shares available, according to Bloomberg, putting the Claude chatbot maker on course for what could be the largest first-time share sale ever. Demand has been driven by anchor-size indications of interest from large institutional investors, with Bloomberg citing people familiar with the matter.
The company is seeking to raise as much as $90.4 billion through its IPO and a concurrent private placement. Its amended registration statement filed with the SEC calls for selling roughly 801.4 million new shares at $70 to $78 each, with existing shareholders selling an additional 23.6 million shares for a total public offering of 825 million shares. At the top of the proposed price range, Anthropic's equity valuation would exceed $1 trillion, with its fully diluted valuation targeted at approximately $1.4 trillion.
The oversubscription news lifted AI and tech stocks more broadly, offering relief to a sector that had come under pressure the prior week amid concerns about data-center spending tied to artificial intelligence.
