Update: Market Chatter: Anthropic IPO Faces Investor Pushback Over $1.5 Trillion Valuation

05:38 AM EST, 11/06/2026 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with additional information from The Wall Street Journal report in the fourth paragraph.) Anthropic's (ANT) planned IPO could face delays as potential investors question its proposed $1.5 trillion valuation and seek a more attractive price, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with investor discussions. The company had initially planned to begin its roadshow the week of Nov. 9, with pricing expected the following week, targeting a November listing, Reuters said. Investors are also awaiting October revenue figures to assess whether growth has recovered after a recent slowdown, two of the people told Reuters. The Wall Street Journal reported late Thursday that three major investors planning to participate in the IPO believe the valuation should be lowered, with one saying it could be closer to $1 trillion. One potential investor said Anthropic could also decide to raise less money than expected, potentially around $80 billion, the report said. Anthropic did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
