Written by AI from cnbc.com's report. Not checked by a person.
Anthropic filed its S-1 registration with the SEC ahead of a planned mid-November Nasdaq debut under the ticker ANT, disclosing explosive revenue growth and a targeting of the largest AI company IPO ever.
Anthropic, the AI safety company behind the Claude family of models, filed its S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on October 26, 2026, setting the stage for a mid-November IPO on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol ANT. The filing revealed $16.29 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, a 1,304 percent increase over the $1.16 billion posted in the same period a year earlier. The company reported an $80.7 billion net loss for the half, though $72 billion of that figure stems from accounting charges tied to the changing fair value of convertible notes rather than operational costs. Gross margins reached 85 percent. Anthropic counts more than 11,900 customers spending at least $100,000 annually and over 1,900 spending at least $1 million. Its last private valuation was $965 billion following a $65 billion Series H round in May 2026, and investors are reportedly eyeing a $2 trillion public valuation. Co-founders Dario Amodei (CEO) and Daniela Amodei (President), together with five other co-founders, will control 50.1 percent of voting power through a Founder LLC structure after the listing. The company plans to begin marketing the week of November 9, with trading potentially starting November 16.
