  1. Anthropic IPO momentum builds amid investor skepticism on $1.5T valuation

    Anthropic is advancing toward a blockbuster IPO that could raise up to $69.3 billion, with a key waiting period expiring soon. Major investors question whether the company can command a $1.5 trillion valuation given the recent AI market sell-off. Morningstar analysts view Anthropic as well positioned to capture long-term AI value, while Jim Cramer argues the offering could determine the trajectory of the entire AI trade. The company faces pressure to go public but risks pricing into a skeptical market.

    Why it matters

    Anthropic has emerged as a leading foundation-model rival to OpenAI, backed by Amazon and Google. After a period of frenzied AI funding, public-market appetite has cooled, making the timing and pricing of a massive IPO a critical test for the sector. The expiring lock-up or regulatory waiting period removes a procedural hurdle, forcing a go/no-go decision.
