Anthropic Targets $200 Billion IPO Valuation on $190 Billion-Plus 2028 Revenue

3 articles · Updated · TheStreet · Aug 17

Summary

  • $200 billion is the IPO valuation Anthropic is targeting, with bankers and investors anchoring the price to revenue it says could reach roughly $190 billion to $200 billion in 2028.
  • That approach looks unusually far ahead for an IPO and marks a sharp step up from the $47 billion annualized revenue run rate the company had publicized as recently as May.
  • Reuters also reported Anthropic posted its first positive adjusted operating profit—about $559 million—giving investors an early profitability marker alongside the aggressive growth case.
  • The planned roadshow is likely to center on how Anthropic can scale revenue, margins and capital spending, with its 2028 target poised to become a benchmark for other AI companies.
