Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, is expected to launch its initial public offering (IPO) in mid-October, according to people familiar with the matter. The company had initially planned to make its IPO prospectus public as early as next week, but now anticipates this step will occur in late September. This delay pushes back the listing, which some investors had predicted could be one of the largest IPOs ever attempted, a $2tn listing that marks a significant test for public-market interest in the rapidly expanding AI industry.
As part of the IPO process, Anthropic is working on finalizing a $15bn revolving credit facility, after which analysts and representatives from banks involved in the financing are expected to meet with the company. The tight timeline for these meetings is due to analysts already being familiar with Anthropic's operations. Anthropic has not commented on the schedule changes.
The IPO is anticipated to be one of the most closely watched in recent history, as investors seek exposure to the burgeoning AI sector. This listing could coincide with potential listings from other AI companies, such as OpenAI. The banks participating in Anthropic's IPO include Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Citi.
