Anthropic files to list on Nasdaq: $16.3bn in revenue, an $80.7bn loss, and no price yet

Anthropic, the developer of the Claude AI models, filed its S-1 registration statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, October 26, and plans to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker "ANT". According to Swiss portal bluewin, which carried the Keystone-SDA report, revenue rose from $1.2 billion to $16.3 billion in the first six months of 2026 compared with a year earlier, while the net loss widened from $13 billion to about $80.7 billion. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley lead the deal. BBC News noted that the prospectus runs to 355 pages, full of never-before-disclosed company information.

There is no market price yet, because there are no shares on sale. The number of shares and the price range will come in a later amendment, and bluewin said, citing sources, that Anthropic aims to match or exceed the record IPO volume set by SpaceX, with an investor roadshow possibly starting the week of November 9.

“Anthropic has not yet decided how many shares it will offer or what the price range will be.” — Inven Global report

India's Free Press Journal set the filing in the wider wave of mega-listings: Anthropic reported a $965 billion valuation after raising $65 billion, ahead of its confidential filing in June, while OpenAI said in March it was worth $852 billion.

How each outlet framed it

  • bluewin — a historic first for an advanced AI developer, set against steep losses and worries about cyberattacks by autonomous AI agents.
  • BBC News — what the 355-page prospectus reveals for the first time.
  • Free Press Journal — the valuation race with OpenAI, and a filing that is not yet effective.
  • Inven Global — a procedural milestone, with the company's public benefit structure and recent Claude releases in focus.

What we don't know yet: the share count, the price range and the final valuation. bluewin listed risks the filing itself raises, including heavy spending on computing power, a business that relies mainly on corporate customers, and the debate over the safety of autonomous systems.
