# Anthropic faces valuation challenges ahead of IPO

On November 7, 2026, AI company Anthropic's initial public offering (IPO) plan is reportedly facing investor valuation doubts. Some investors believe that the $1.5 trillion valuation remains too high. Anthropic has declined to comment on these concerns.

The report indicates that Anthropic's expected company valuation has been continuously adjusted downward as it approaches what is termed the "largest IPO in history." Anthropic initially planned to launch its roadshow during the week of November 9, with pricing expected the following week, aiming for a listing on November 16. The company originally sought a valuation of up to $2 trillion.

A previous report cited by IT Home noted that a recent sharp decline in technology stocks is altering the valuation assessments of institutional investors planning to participate in Anthropic's IPO. These investors have indicated to Anthropic and its advisory team that the valuation for the IPO later this month should be between $1.5 trillion and $1.6 trillion, significantly lower than the nearly $2 trillion level discussed in recent months.

Three major investors planning to participate in the IPO believe that the valuation should be further lowered. One investor suggested that the valuation could be closer to $1 trillion. This discrepancy between the $2 trillion and $1 trillion expectations represents a 50% difference, although this does not indicate that the company has accepted a "halved" pricing.

Investor caution is also linked to market conditions and the company's financial situation. The report states that technology stocks have faced severe sell-offs, coupled with Anthropic's previous quarterly losses and substantial commitments to AI infrastructure spending, prompting underwriters to seek a greater discount. Some investors are also waiting for October revenue data to assess whether the recent slowdown in growth will accelerate again.

Technology media outlet The Information reports that Anthropic plans to continue its IPO roadshow next week, still aiming for a public listing during the week of November 16, just before Thanksgiving.
