He also noted investors will scrutinize Anthropic’s growth trajectory, backlog, and infrastructure spending during its IPO roadshow, emphasizing revenue and profitability as key factors.\n\nIves described the current AI market as a ‘white-knuckle period’ but rejected the idea that Anthropic’s IPO signals a peak. Instead, he positioned it as a critical phase in AI monetization, though he admitted high compute costs and spending demands will influence investor decisions. Viram Shah, CEO of Vested, separately urged investors to focus on Anthropic’s revenue model and profitability beyond hype.","keyPoints":["Analyst Dan Ives estimates Anthropic’s valuation could eventually reach **$2T–$3T**, but sees **$1.5T–$1.7T** as the initial investor target","Ives calls Anthropic the ‘hearts and lungs’ of AI, comparing the IPO to the **15% mark** of the AI revolution’s timeline","Investors will weigh Anthropic’s growth, backlog, and infrastructure costs during its IPO roadshow, per Ives"],"whyItMatters":"Anthropic’s valuation trajectory shapes AI investment expectations, with high estimates signaling confidence in its foundational role.
