Anthropic weighs IPO marketing as early as November 9

Anthropic is considering beginning the marketing of an initial public offering as early as the week of November 9, a timetable that could put the artificial intelligence company on track to start trading before Thanksgiving. The schedule is not final, and people familiar with the company’s deliberations said it could still change. The reported plan follows an earlier expected post-summer filing timeline. The accounts describe a possible mid-November launch, not a confirmed date for the offering or a completed IPO. They also report that Anthropic is expected to go public by year-end, but the company has not established a final schedule in the information provided. If the company proceeds, the offering would come amid intense investor interest in large technology listings and a difficult market for some recent IPOs. Prospective investors have been reported to place Anthropic’s potential valuation in a range of $1.8 trillion to $2 trillion. That estimate comes from people familiar with the discussions and is not a stated offering price. Company financial documents previously described in reports show Anthropic’s revenue rose to about $4.6 billion in 2025 from $386 million in 2024.
