This move positions Anthropic ahead of rival OpenAI in the race to capitalize on investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence technologies. According to Reuters, SpaceX is also preparing for its own record-breaking IPO, targeting a similar valuation and launch date. The concurrent filings suggest a wave of high-profile tech offerings that could reshape Wall Street's landscape.
The IPO market has shown signs of revival after several dormant years. Analysts at Wedbush Securities described Anthropic's filing as 'an opening of the floodgates' for the IPO market, while Goldman Sachs predicted that proceeds from U.S. IPOs could reach a record $160 billion in 2024 if marquee names like these go public this year.
Anthropic's valuation has surged dramatically in recent months, more than doubling from $380 billion in February to $965 billion in late May. SpaceX, meanwhile, has set aside up to 5% of its IPO shares for certain employees and friends through a direct share program, according to an amended filing reported by CNBC. The company's offering is expected to bring in a record sum in the range of $75 billion.
