Anthropic filed an updated Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) containing more detailed financial statements ahead of a potential IPO. According to the document, the company’s revenue in the third quarter grew 12-fold year-over-year. This could fuel interest in the stock offering, which could become the largest in history, Bloomberg reports.
What Anthropic Reported
Revenue for the third quarter, which ended on September 30, totaled nearly $17 billion—12 times more than in the same period last year.
The net loss for the quarter was $23.3 billion, compared with $12.1 billion a year earlier.
Operating expenses for the quarter rose to $17.5 billion—a 292% increase from a year earlier.
Anthropic also disclosed $895 billion in liabilities, most of which are related to computing power and infrastructure. The company expects to spend approximately $448 billion of this amount by the end of 2030, and about $70 billion is due within one year prior to September 2027.
Context
Anthropic plans to hold its IPO before Thanksgiving in the U.S., which falls on November 26 this year. The company expects to raise an amount comparable to the $86.2 billion that SpaceX raised in its IPO, or to exceed that figure, according to Bloomberg sources. According to the agency, in discussions with underwriters, investors estimate Anthropic’s fair value to be in the range of $1.4–1.5 trillion, although the company could potentially reach a valuation closer to $1.75 trillion.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are acting as underwriters for the IPO, with 20 other banks participating in the transaction. The company’s shares, which are being sold as part of the IPO alongside those of some investors, are scheduled to be listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT. The offering will mark the first public listing for the company, whose core business is the development of cutting-edge artificial intelligence models.
