Anthropic IPO faces investor doubts over AI backlash and valuation

reuters.com [$] —

Potential investors in Anthropic's highly anticipated IPO are questioning whether the AI startup can proceed with its planned roadshow next week for a November listing, four sources familiar with investor discussions said. Investors are pushing for a more attractive valuation, viewing the recently discussed $1.5 trillion figure as high-end, amid the sharpest tech stock selloff in a year and geopolitical uncertainty. Anthropic may need to offer a bigger discount to secure commitments. A delay could fuel concerns about the AI ecosystem and pressure tech-heavy stock markets. Investors await Anthropic's October revenue figure, left blank in its S-1 filing, to assess growth after recent slowdowns.
