Key points
- Anthropic files S-1 on Oct 26, 2026, targeting up to $100 billion in proceeds.
- Reported H1 2026 revenue was $16.3 billion, with a net loss of $80.7 billion.
- Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are joint bookrunners; roadshow starts week of Nov 9.
The prospectus reveals significant financial contrasts. Anthropic reported $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026, a sharp increase from $1.1 billion in the same period the previous year. However, the company also reported a net loss of $80.7 billion for that period. Approximately $72 billion of this loss is attributed to non-cash charges related to accounting and financing, rather than direct cash outflows.
Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are serving as joint bookrunners for the deal. The roadshow is expected to begin the week of November 9, coinciding with earnings reports from major tech firms like Microsoft, Alphabet, and Amazon. In 2025, 47% of Anthropic’s revenue, totaling $2.16 billion, came through Amazon and Google cloud marketplaces. The company’s most recent private valuation was $965 billion, set during a $65 billion Series H round in May 2026.
