The company, which reportedly aims to hold its initial public offering (IPO) in November following the US midterm elections, is targeting a $2 trillion valuation, surpassing SpaceX's record-setting $1.8 trillion valuation during its debut in June.\n\nIn a private meeting with investors at its headquarters, Anthropic presented updates on its finances, calculated on an adjusted basis, highlighting a free cash flow positive status and an 11 percent operating margin in the third quarter.
