Anthropic is weighing two key decisions as the firm plans to debut in public markets this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One concerns the timing of the listing, the other what it ships before the roadshow begins. Each decision may shape how investors price what could be the largest listing ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Anthropic Sets a November IPO Window<\/p>\n
The Wall Street Journal reported<\/a> that Anthropic is targeting November, later than the October listing investors expected. Advisers say the delay lets Anthropic show third-quarter financials before it meets investors.<\/p>\n Reuters reported separately that the listing could slip past the November midterm elections.\u00a0 Furthermore, according<\/a> to the New York Times, Anthropic could release its offering documents publicly within weeks. The people also added that the plans could still change.<\/p>\n Concerns over AI safety have meanwhile pushed one rival\u2019s plans back.
