Anthropic's IPO of up to 100 billion dollars will be a test for the market: investors will have to finance another big deal. Bloomberg Opinion Anthropic wants to raise like SpaceX in June, which raised a record $86 billion in its IPO, according to Bloomberg News. Reuters writes that Anthropic may exceed this result. The conditions for placements worsened after the SpaceX deal: the interest rate on 10-year US government bonds rose from 4.5% to 5%, and the average increase in US issuances in 2026 was only 2%, according to Bloomberg calculations. IPOs by data center operators have been particularly difficult. The placements of Meta* and Schneider Electric were successful: Meta* sold shares for 38 billion dollars, more than planned, and plans another 60 billion dollars from 2027, and Schneider raised 6 billion euros to buy PTC. But an IPO, according to Bloomberg columnist Chris Hughes, is another test of risk appetite. These historically large stock deals look promising for Anthropic. But selling newly issued shares by established first-tier companies is not the same as an IPO. Goldman Sachs analysts don't expect new IPOs to derail the bull market: For 30 years, the S&P 500 has remained stable on average around the biggest deals. However, according to Hughes, the outcome of an IPO depends on sentiment, and AI trading is the market. * Recognized as extremist in Russia and prohibited. Telegram | maximum | strain | .
