What happened

Anthropic (ANT) is about six times oversubscribed on its Nasdaq IPO at $70–$78 a share, which could raise up to $64.35B, with pricing set for Wednesday, Nov. 18. Anthropic, maker of the Claude AI chatbot, is selling 825 million shares, and trading is expected to start Thursday, Nov. 19 under the ticker ANT. Bankers told buyers that existing backers get priority, so some new investors may get fewer shares than they asked for. Sales were $33.2B in the first nine months of 2026, but Anthropic posted a $104B net loss, mostly from accounting changes.

Why it matters

Anthropic's IPO is one of the biggest stock-market debuts ever planned, and it lets public investors buy into a leading AI company for the first time. At the top of the range, Anthropic would be valued at about $1.4 trillion, or roughly 17 times its yearly sales pace. That price bets that its fast growth continues. It also arrives in a shaky week for AI stocks, with Nvidia down about 12%.
