Anthropic IPO Order Book Said to Be Multiple Times Oversubscribed
Summary
Bloomberg reports Anthropic's IPO has drawn orders several times the shares on offer, the first hard read on demand for the deal. That follows a roadshow launched November 10 with an indicative range of $70 to $78 a share and a target valuation of up to $1.3 trillion, after the company filed to raise as much as $69.3 billion on roughly 867 million Class A shares. Heavy oversubscription points to pricing at or above the top of the range, which would lift the raise and the valuation above the current targets. It also cuts against the skepticism flagged in early November, when investors pushed for a lower valuation and questioned whether a November listing was feasible amid the AI selloff. The book is not final pricing — watch for the actual offer price and the first-day trade once the shares list on Nasdaq.
