# Anthropic IPO Faces Uncertainty Amid Market Decline

On November 6, a significant decline in the U.S. stock market has raised concerns regarding the upcoming IPO of Anthropic. According to informed sources, major investors are increasingly skeptical about the company's ability to achieve its expected valuation of $1.5 trillion following a market downturn, particularly after related AI investments faced liquidation.

Anthropic had planned to initiate its IPO in the week before Thanksgiving, aiming to raise up to $100 billion. However, three key investors involved in the IPO indicated that the valuation may need to be revised downward, with one suggesting it could be closer to $1 trillion.

Another investor remarked that convincing institutional investors, who have recently suffered losses in the market, to take on significant risks in the AI sector again may be challenging. This investor also raised the possibility of Anthropic considering a delay in its IPO.

Anthropic's alternative option includes raising less capital than initially anticipated. As of September 30, Anthropic reported holding $146.6 billion in cash.

For months, investors have been eagerly anticipating this IPO, viewing Anthropic as a "must-buy" despite volatility in other AI-related stocks. Given the scale of the planned IPO and Anthropic's close ties with technology giants like Google, Amazon, and Nvidia, the company's market debut could have significant implications for the broader market and economy.

Informed sources disclosed that Anthropic executives and their advisors are expected to hold meetings in the coming days to discuss IPO plans, maintaining flexibility throughout the preparation process.
