Anthropic has publicly filed for a US stock-market listing, reporting $16.29 billion in first-half 2026 revenue and an $80.7 billion net loss, largely attributable to accounting charges rather than cash spending. Share numbers and a price range remain undisclosed.

  • Anthropic intends to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker ANT. Its filing did not specify the number of shares or a price range.
  • First-half 2026 revenue reached $16.29 billion, compared with $1.16 billion a year earlier. The company recorded its first quarterly operating profit, $974 million, in the second quarter.
  • The first-half net loss was $80.7 billion, including $72.4 billion from changes in the value of convertible notes and other financial instruments. Operating cash flow was positive at $3.93 billion.
  • Anthropic spent $8.9 billion on computing and infrastructure in the first half of 2026. It warns that many future contractual payments remain due even if it does not use the contracted capacity.
  • The prospectus describes risks from advanced AI systems and from political or regulatory responses to Anthropic’s safety positions. It also warns that revenue growth could slow substantially.
  • The seven co-founders will retain just over half of shareholder voting rights after the listing. A reported target of the week of November 16 for the IPO remains subject to change.
