Anthropic investors have been kicking the tires on what could be the most valuable initial public offering in history.
Key facts
- At those multiples, a $2 trillion Anthropic would need to post annual profits in the neighborhood of $59 billion to $79 billion to keep pace
- Nvidia’s valuation is more than $5 trillion, and it earned $120.1 billion in net income last fiscal year on $215.9 billion in revenue
- Alphabet, at $4.55 trillion, made $132 billion on $403 billion in revenue
- Microsoft, at $3.7 trillion, posted $133.7 billion of net income in the year ended June 30
Summary
That valuation would more than double the $965 billion the company was worth when it reported a Series H funding round in May. The awkward part of all this, though, is that Anthropic isn’t making money yet. It could be getting closer, but the Claude chatbot purveyor led by Dario Amodei still has a long way to go. The Wall Street Journal reported that Anthropic’s second-quarter 2026 revenue would more than double to $10.9 billion, while the company would for the first time post an operating profit. Avery Marquez, director of investment strategies at Renaissance Capital, said approaching that threshold of a profitable bottom line will be key to make Anthropic’s valuation palatable to public investors.
