Anthropic IPO Book Roughly Six Times Oversubscribed
Summary
Anthropic's IPO is roughly six times oversubscribed, according to Bloomberg News, meaning demand for the offering is far outstripping the shares on sale. That follows the roadshow launch with an indicative range of $70 to $78 a share and a targeted raise of as much as $69.3 billion on about 867 million Class A shares. Heavy book coverage is the clearest sign yet that the deal can price at or above the top of the range despite the recent AI selloff that had investors questioning whether a November listing was feasible. The size of the oversubscription matters because it sets the negotiating leverage for the underwriters when they finalize pricing.
