Anthropic set an expected initial public offering price range of $70 to $78 per share in an amended U.S. regulatory filing on Nov. 10, 2026, targeting a valuation of up to $1.4 trillion.
The San Francisco-based maker of the Claude AI chatbot aims to raise up to $64.4 billion directly through the share offering, according to Al Jazeera reporting. That figure would rank behind only SpaceX’s stock market launch in June, CBC noted.

“It’s worrisome when you start to read articles that say the whole market will go the way of one IPO, specifically Anthropic,” Hobson told Yahoo Finance.
Market concentration worries
Hobson compared current market conditions to the late 1990s technology boom.
“I think the reason that it’s gotten frothy from our perspective is you have a lot of people chasing the same things. You also have this willingness to have this level of investment with no clear understanding of the payoff,” Hobson said.

Anthropic is scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq exchange on Nov. 19, 2026, under the symbol “ANT”, according to CBC. The IPO lands as Democrats take control of both chambers of the U.S. Congress following the midterm elections.
The new congressional majorities raise the prospect of increased regulation for artificial intelligence companies and new restrictions on data center construction. Technology stocks slid following the midterms, with the Nasdaq falling 5.5 percent in its biggest one-day drop in more than a year.
