Anthropic filed for IPO after posting $80.7 billion half-year loss

Anthropic has filed publicly for a US initial public offering, setting up what could become the biggest stock market debut on record for an AI company. The prospectus showed the Claude developer generated $16.2 billion in revenue in the first half of 2026 but posted an $80.7 billion loss over the same period as spending on AI models and infrastructure surged. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are leading the deal, while Bloomberg reported JPMorgan Chase was picked to handle US retail share sales. Investors have recently floated valuation expectations of about $1.4 trillion to $1.75 trillion, according to the report, though terms are still being discussed.
