- The market had previously expected an IPO valuation of about $1.5 trillion, with proceeds potentially exceeding $80 billion.

Over $80 billionExpected proceeds
Week of November 16Planned listing window
Before Thanksgiving, November 26Target completion
PHYSIX OBSERVATION
A $1.5 trillion valuation would push Anthropic straight into the top ranks of global market capitalization, but investors have already voted their doubts. If tech stocks keep swinging, it will likely price the deal down, making this a real pricing test in the AI bubble debate. For users, the transparent financial reports that come with going public matter more than the valuation number.
