Anthropic, the company behind Claude, filed for an initial public offering on Monday morning and is targeting a November listing. Its S-1 filing showed first-half 2026 revenue of $16.3 billion and a net loss of $80.7 billion, while the company had $112.4 billion in cash and equivalents and another $19.3 billion in short-term investments as of June 30. The filing did not disclose the share count or price range. The Financial Times reported that investors expect a valuation of $1.5 trillion to $1.75 trillion, and Fox Business reporter Liz Claman said pricing on Nov. 19 or 20 remains on track. Enterprise adoption figures in the prospectus showed more than 1,900 customers generated at least $1 million each in trailing annual revenue by Sept. 30, including about 250 contributing more than $10 million. After the filing, chip stocks moved higher in premarket trading, with Nvidia, Broadcom and Micron all gaining. On crypto exchange Hyperliquid, the ANTH contract tied to Anthropic’s expected share price briefly jumped to about $1,980 around the filing time before falling roughly 6% within minutes.

Filing details revenue, losses and liquidity

According to the prospectus, Anthropic held $112.4 billion in cash and equivalents as of June 30, along with $19.3 billion in short-term investments. Even so, the company said infrastructure spending is expected to rise significantly, which would put pressure on future cash flows.

Its enterprise business has expanded quickly. By Sept. 30, more than 1,900 customers were generating at least $1 million each in trailing annual revenue, including about 250 customers contributing more than $10 million.

Valuation expectations and timing

Previous reports had suggested the company could raise as much as $100 million at a $2 trillion valuation.

Company statement and market reaction

In the filing, Anthropic said: "We believe that AI is one of the most consequential technologies in human history. If managed well, it could rapidly accelerate scientific innovation, greatly increase economic growth rates, bring cures for major diseases within reach, and solve problems that have resisted generations of human effort."

Chip stocks rose in premarket trading after the filing. Nvidia gained 1.4%, Broadcom rose 1.5%, and Micron added 2.3%.
