Anthropic Moves Ahead with Listing at Lower Valuation…Offering to Gauge AI Sentiment
Anthropic is reported to be launching its roadshow on November 10 U.S. time and pursuing an initial public offering with a Nasdaq listing targeted for November 19–20. The company aims to raise $69.3 billion through the offering, with an indicative price range of $70–$80 per share. The fundraising target is lower than earlier expectations that it would exceed $80 billion or reach $100 billion.
Reports also said seven global Big Tech companies plan to invest about $26 billion through a private placement. Their participation was cited as a factor that could ease some concerns over whether the listing would proceed as scheduled, whether the company would receive an appropriate valuation, and whether the offering would draw substantial funds away from other investment opportunities in the market. The actual investment amount and offering terms, however, will need to be confirmed.
Anthropic’s expected valuation was once discussed as high as $2 trillion, but the lower end has recently fallen to around $1 trillion–$1.1 trillion, while the company’s target is reportedly around $1.5 trillion. The company is said to be revising an additional filing that includes revenue forecasts and valuation details. The market is expected to assess the offering’s prospects based on whether the revisions signal confidence in growth or scale back previous forecasts.
The new models unveiled by Anthropic were referred to in the subtitles as “Fable 5.2” and “Mythos 5.2.” Fable 5.2 was described as scoring 65 on a maximum-reasoning-intensity evaluation, placing it among the top performers, and as delivering strong results in solving difficult problems. The schedule allowing some users to test the model through November 16 was interpreted as an effort to build interest ahead of the listing.
Nvidia Falls Alone as CoreWeave Earnings Draw Attention
While 400 S&P 500 constituents rose in the U.S. market, Nvidia fell more than 4%, making it a lone laggard. This contrasted with a gain of more than 6% in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index. The stock plunged after allegations concerning Jensen Huang’s personal life surfaced, and reports said a shareholder class-action lawsuit was filed in federal court in San Jose, California, alleging that relevant information had not been properly disclosed.
The plaintiffs reportedly argued that the stock fell because information related to the allegations had not been disclosed. Reuters reported that it is common for shareholders to sue a company after its stock plunges. Kwangsoo Lee noted that the key issues were not the personal-life controversy itself, but its potential impact on Nvidia’s leadership and the AI ecosystem, as well as how investors respond to corporate disclosure.
One view was that Nvidia’s ecosystem, built around its CUDA platform, is strong enough that competitors would find it difficult to replace in the short term. At the same time, concerns were raised that a leadership issue could weigh on market sentiment, given the lack of a clear succession plan for Jensen Huang and his personal stake of only about 3.4%. Melius Research said AMD and Broadcom could benefit if business disruptions actually materialize, but added that it is too early to predict market-share changes while demand for Nvidia remains strong.
CoreWeave is scheduled to report earnings at 6:10 a.m. on the 11th and hold an earnings call at 7 a.m. Given its business model of borrowing from banks to secure GPUs, building data centers and then leasing them, key points to watch include actual leasing revenue and whether the company can generate stable cash flows over the long term. The company’s earnings and credit-risk indicators are also drawing attention as measures of investment in AI data centers and financing conditions.
