TechAnthropic reports strong profitability and eyes potential $2T+ Nasdaq IPO
Anthropic told investors it expects a second straight quarter of adjusted operating profit with gross margins >80%, Q2 revenue up ~14x YoY to $11.5B, and annualized revenue ~$65B. Potential Nasdaq IPO as soon as October could value company at ~$2T with possible Nvidia anchor investment.
TLDR
Rare profitability amid heavy compute spend validates AI business models at scale. Historic IPO valuation and Nvidia ties fuel investor/analyst discussion. Contrasts with concurrent safety slowdown calls, raising questions about alignment of business incentives with safety rhetoric.
