Anthropic IPO tests investor patience for AI growth stories

nl.investing.com (Dutch) —

Anthropic's planned initial public offering will test investor patience for AI growth stories, according to Stephen Callahan, trading behavior analyst at Firstrade, in comments to Investing.com. The filing marks a pivotal moment for the AI sector, forcing investors to decide where to allocate capital next. Nearly half of Anthropic's first-half revenue came through AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure marketplaces, according to its S-1 filing, prompting investors to watch what the IPO signals about hyperscalers. The company reported $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026 against a net loss of $80.7 billion. Callahan warned that mega-IPOs create strong fear of missing out among retail investors, who often chase the opening, typically the most volatile period, buying on emotion rather than following a plan. He added that first-day trading could see extra volatility since insiders may trade from day one.
