Anthropic files for IPO, shares to trade under 'ANT'

Anthropic has filed paperwork with regulators on Monday to prepare for its initial public offering in November, with shares expected to trade on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol "ANT." Observers suggest it could be the largest IPO in history. The San Francisco-based AI company, known for its chatbot Claude, revealed its first detailed financial figures, showing revenue surged from $1.2 billion to $16.3 billion in the first half of 2026 compared to the prior year period. However, net losses expanded dramatically from $13 billion to approximately $80.7 billion. The filing highlights the enormous costs in the race to develop leading AI models, with the business model primarily targeting enterprise customers. The highly anticipated listing is expected to draw significant investor attention.
