Anthropic opens Australian retail IPO offering as AI scrutiny intensifies
Anthropic has launched an Australian retail share offering ahead of its Nasdaq debut, setting an indicative price range of $70 to $78 per share. Multiple outlets report the AI lab is targeting a valuation between $1.3 trillion and $1.4 trillion, which would make it one of the largest public offerings ever. The IPO is slated for later this month despite recent volatility in AI-related stocks. Retail investors in Australia are being given access before the broader market listing, a rare move for a U.S.-based technology company.

Anthropic opens Australian retail IPO offering at $70-$78 price range
Anthropic has launched an Australian retail share offering ahead of its Nasdaq debut, setting an indicative price range of $70 to $78 per share. Multiple outlets report the AI lab is targeting a valuation between $1.3 trillion and $1.4 trillion, which would make it one of the largest public offerings ever. The IPO is slated for later this month despite recent volatility in AI-related stocks. Retail investors in Australia are being given access before the broader market listing, a rare move for a U.S.-based technology company.
Why it matters
Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI researchers including CEO Dario Amodei, has positioned itself as a safety-focused alternative in the large-language-model race. A valuation above $1 trillion would surpass most established tech giants and test investor appetite for AI infrastructure plays amid rising interest rates and scrutiny over data-center economics. The Australian retail tranche signals strong demand from global retail channels.
