Anthropic IPO Targeted for Late September or Early October at Up to $1.5 Trillion Valuation
Anthropic is preparing to go public as soon as late September or early October, according to reporting from The Information. The AI company plans to publicly unveil its IPO prospectus after Labor Day and is expected to host an investor day in mid-September ahead of the listing. Bankers have discussed a valuation of around $1.5 trillion, though earlier reports placed the range between $1 trillion and $2 trillion.
The company is also considering allowing existing shareholders to sell stock in the offering, an unusual move that would give early investors liquidity at listing, while pairing that with longer-than-standard lockup periods to help contain post-IPO volatility.
