IPO: KI-Firma Anthropic droht laut Insidern Verzögerung bei Börsengang
Investoren dringen offenbar auf eine niedrigere Bewertung als die zuletzt diskutierten 1,5 Billionen Dollar. Auch der Zeitplan für den IPO wird hinterfragt.
New York and San Francisco - Anticipation of a delay in the planned initial public offering (IPO) of AI startup Anthropic has emerged among industry insiders. According to four sources familiar with the situation, the scheduled advertising tour for a November pre-market listing may be on hold. The investors are pressing for a lower valuation than the previously discussed $1.5 trillion figure.
Anthropic might need to offer a greater price discount to secure commitments. The investors cited the company's ongoing quarterly losses and high financial obligations in expanding artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Anthropic declined to provide a statement. The reluctance is attributed to the strongest sell-off of technology stocks since last year, along with uncertainties following the U.S. midterm elections on Tuesday.
Investors are also waiting for Anthropic's October sales figures, which were initially left open in the company's updated IPO prospectus. Complicating matters, several U.S. states have successfully passed initiatives limiting data centers in voting. A postponement of the anticipated $100 billion emission could exacerbate concerns about the entire AI industry and weigh on the broader stock market.
