Anthropic is expected to release its official offering statement or S‑1 any day now and aims to go public before Thanksgiving, according to the sources.  OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman told investors last month the company will not go public this year, citing AI‑safety concerns, and an OpenAI spokesperson reiterated that no timeline has been set.  Lawyers advising the firms say they should complete their offerings before Jan. 3, when Democrats could take control of Congress after the November election, potentially leading to hearings and investigations that could affect AI companies.\n\nThe article also notes a looming “monster” secondary stock offering by Meta, the holding company of Facebook, to fund its AI buildout, and cites political polls that give Democrats a nearly 70% chance of winning the Senate, with close races in Michigan and Texas.  Charlie Gasparino is quoted as tracking the intersection of business, politics and finance.","keyPoints":["Anthropic may file its S‑1 any day now, aiming for an IPO before Thanksgiving, according to Wall Street sources.","OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said last month the company won’t go public this year, citing safety concerns.","Wall Street lawyers warn both firms should complete IPOs before Jan. 3, when Democrats could control Congress after the November election."],"whyItMatters":"An early IPO could lock in valuations before a potentially hostile political climate and regulatory scrutiny, affecting funding and market dynamics for the leading AI players.","category":{"slug":"business","name":"Business & Funding","url":"https://digestai.news/category/business"},"entities":{"companies":["Anthropic","OpenAI","Meta","Facebook"],"models":[],"people":["Sam Altman","Charlie Gasparino","Abdul El‑Sayed","Mike Rogers","James Talarico","Greg Abbott"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-10-22T15:00:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-22T15:00:00Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"nypost.com","title":"Wall Street urging Anthropic, OpenAI to do their IPOs this year ‘before things get crazy’ — here’s why","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/23/business/wall-street-is-urging-anthropic-openai-to-do-their-ipos-in-a-hurry-heres-why","publishedAt":"2026-10-22T15:00:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Wall Street urges Anthropic and OpenAI to file IPOs before year‑end\", 22 October 2026, https://digestai.news/story/wall-street-urges-anthropic-and-openai-to-file-ipos-before-yearend","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Wall Street urges Anthropic and OpenAI to file IPOs before year‑end","datePublished":"2026-10-22T15:00:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/wall-street-urges-anthropic-and-openai-to-file-ipos-before-yearend"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
