This positions Anthropic ahead of rival OpenAI in capitalizing on investor enthusiasm for AI technologies. According to Reuters and CNBC, SpaceX is also preparing its own record-breaking IPO targeting similar valuation and launch date, suggesting a wave of high-profile tech offerings reshaping Wall Street's landscape.
The IPO market shows revival after several dormant years. Analysts at Wedbush Securities described Anthropic's filing as 'an opening of the floodgates' for the IPO market. Goldman Sachs predicted that U.S. IPO proceeds could reach a record $160 billion in 2024 if marquee names like these go public this year.
Anthropic's valuation has surged dramatically, more than doubling from $380 billion to $965 billion between February and late May. The company last raised $65 billion in late May and reported annualized revenue of $47 billion from selling its technology. SpaceX is setting aside up to 5% of its IPO shares for certain employees and friends through a direct share program, as reported by CNBC.
Anthropic's rapid rise has triggered sharp sell-offs in software and IT stocks as investors worry about disruption across industries. Analysts suggest that Anthropic and OpenAI are racing to go public before capital runs out, with the former aiming to set favorable financial reporting standards. The listing would represent one of the most consequential stock market debuts in years, potentially reshaping benchmark indexes and investor flows.
Meanwhile, Liftoff Mobile, backed by Blackstone, targets a valuation of up to $3.66 billion in its U.S. initial public offering after scrubbing an initial launch attempt. The company aims to raise up to $418 million through 19 million shares priced between $20 and $22 each.
