Anthropic IPO Roadshow in Doubt as Investors Balk at $1.5 Trillion Valuation
Summary
Potential IPO investors are questioning whether Anthropic can launch its roadshow next week and still list in November, Reuters reports. Some see the recently discussed $1.5 trillion valuation as the high end of expectations and are pushing for a more attractive price before committing. The doubts follow the sharpest tech selloff in a year and geopolitical uncertainty, and investors note Anthropic's quarterly losses and large AI buildout commitments give it little leverage to hold firm on price. The roadshow had been expected to start the week of November 9 with pricing the following week, so a slip would push the listing out of the November window. Watch whether the roadshow formally launches the week of November 9 as previously reported.
