Investors Disturbed by Anthropic’s Financial Data
"Not good enough. It's over." The post Investors Disturbed by Anthropic’s Financial Data appeared first on Futurism .
As Anthropic gears up for its highly anticipated IPO, investors and experts are closely examining the company's financial data. The Wall Street Journal reported that Anthropic told private investors its revenue had grown 45% to nearly $17 billion. However, this figure is significantly lower than the growth needed to justify the company's target valuation of $2 trillion.
Business Insider notes that Anthropic's third quarter income might look impressive, but it falls far short of the growth required to support its $2 trillion valuation.
A social media post from a market research blog, Geiger Capital, criticized Anthropic's revenue growth, stating "Not good enough," "It's over." AI researcher and critic Gary Marcus echoed these sentiments, questioning whether Anthropic would ever reach the revenue needed to justify its valuation, suggesting they "ain't gonna come close."
Reuters reported that investors immediately began considering a lower valuation of about $1.5 trillion, a $500 billion gap in Anthropic's projected valuation. The high cost of AI development is becoming increasingly challenging to justify, raising concerns about Anthropic's future prospects.
The company faced further scrutiny after a leaked IPO filing revealed that Anthropic brought in $4.6 billion in revenue across 2025 but lost $42 billion. With a commitment to spend $518 billion on AI infrastructure over the next decade, the time for Anthropic to achieve explosive revenue growth has clearly passed. The success of Anthropic's IPO will be crucial not only for the company itself but also for the broader tech sector.
