Summary

  • Anthropic’s bankers are lining up investor meetings in the coming weeks, advancing plans for a potential IPO that could come as soon as October.
  • Strong revenue growth from Claude and coding-focused AI tools is driving the push, though the timing can still change as deliberations continue.
  • Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are working on the deal, and Anthropic confidentially filed for the listing last month.
  • A fall debut would put Anthropic ahead of OpenAI’s now-2027 IPO target and potentially before China’s DeepSeek, which could file this year.
  • The offering would test whether investors will back one of the world’s largest private companies after May’s funding round valued Anthropic at $965 billion.
