Proceeding with a major initial public offering appears perilous in the current climate, particularly following one of the Nasdaq's largest selloffs and following reports that a CEO central to the generative AI surge engaged in an affair with a suspected Chinese agent. However, Anthropic remains undeterred, pressing forward with its listing plans as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
According to the Journal, Anthropic intends to establish its valuation range this week and commence trading either next Thursday or Friday.
Investors will scrutinize Anthropic’s valuation to assess the vitality of the current AI expansion. The report notes that some institutional investors are now advocating for a valuation under the $1.5 trillion target discussed only last week, a significant drop from the $2 trillion figure floated just a few months prior.
OpenAI, Anthropic’s primary competitor, was reportedly valued at $1.25 trillion last week after the ChatGPT creator secured $11 billion in new funding, falling short of its initial goal of $20 billion.
