Anthropic reportedly targets a November 2026 IPO, with a roughly $1.5 trillion valuation under discussion

One post says Anthropic is reportedly targeting a November 2026 IPO, with a roughly $1.5 trillion valuation under discussion, versus closer to $2 trillion expected by some investors. Another post, citing NYU professor Aswath Damodaran, says an IPO would be priced on run-rate revenue rather than cash flows. It quotes him saying Anthropic counts partner sales gross in its revenue figure, while OpenAI counts them net.
