Anthropic IPO buyers discuss valuations as low as $1.2T–$1.3T after AI selloff
The Information reports Anthropic plans to start its formal roadshow next week and list the week of November 16, before Thanksgiving; buyers have discussed $1.2T–$1.3T, below earlier $1.5T talk, and Anthropic declined to comment.
Why it matters
After the post-midterm technology selloff, prospective Anthropic IPO buyers are discussing a $1.2 trillion to $1.3 trillion valuation range, according to people familiar with the talks cited by Unite.AI and The Province (Bloomberg). That is below earlier $1.4–$1.5 trillion estimates and far under a $2 trillion figure floated in early October. Anthropic’s amended preliminary prospectus (November 2) still leaves share count and price range blank; the company declined to comment. Preparations for a roadshow around the week of November 9 continue amid market volatility.
