Anthropic IPO Oversubscribed Six Times as Demand Swamps Record Offering
Summary
Orders for Anthropic's IPO came in at roughly six times the shares on offer, per Bloomberg, a demand read that lands after the roadshow launched with a $70 to $78 indicative range. Bankers have told buyers that existing backers get priority, so some allocations will come in smaller than expected. The company and its co-founders are seeking up to $64.4 billion in the IPO plus another $26 billion in a private placement anchored by Google, Nvidia and AMD, with Nvidia committing about $10 billion. The fully diluted valuation target sits near $1.4 trillion, below what some investors had expected. The demand case rests on revenue: the filing showed an $81 billion run rate as of October 31, up $10 billion from the end of September. Pricing and the Nasdaq debut under ANT are the next checkpoints.
