Anthropic pushes IPO marketing to mid-October, days before US midterms
Anthropic now expects to file its IPO prospectus in late September and start marketing in mid-October, landing what some investors call a $2 trillion listing days before the November midterms, with a $15 billion revolving credit facility to finalize first. The slip pushes the largest test yet of public-market appetite for AI into the narrowest possible pre-election window, with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Citi running the books.
