Anthropic Kicks Off IPO Roadshow, Set to List on Nasdaq Nov 19
Anthropic officially launched its IPO roadshow on November 10, entering the final sprint toward listing. The official account announced that the registration statement has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective, and no securities may be sold or offers accepted before it does. Multiple credible sources cross-confirm the timeline: the roadshow starts November 10 (ET), final pricing is set for November 18, and shares are expected to begin trading on Nasdaq on Thursday, November 19 (ET) under the ticker ANT, subject to regulatory approval.
Confirmed
- Offering of 825 million Class A common shares: approximately 801.4 million newly issued by the company and approximately 23.65 million sold by existing shareholders (proceeds from those sales go to the selling shareholders). Underwriters have a 30-day over-allotment option
- Price range set at $70–78 per share, implying roughly $57.8 billion to $64.4 billion in IPO proceeds; with a concurrent private placement, total financing could reach $84.6 billion, valuing the company at around $1 trillion
- Per CNBC reporter Leslie Picker, within the $70–78 range, institutional investors have fully covered the allocatable demand — technically oversubscribed; about 20% of the offering is reserved for retail investors
Why it matters
- This will be one of the largest tech IPOs in recent years; the offering size and $1 trillion valuation make it a landmark event for AI industry capitalization
- The combination of institutional oversubscription and a 20% retail allocation signals strong demand, with retail participation a key variable for early trading
- The November 19 listing date collides with a gaming-culture moment, spawning memes (e.g., Aizkmusic joking about clashing with GTA 6), reflecting how far the event's buzz extends beyond tech circles
Timeline
- November 10 (ET): Roadshow begins; registration statement filed with the SEC, not yet effective
- November 18 (ET): Final offering price expected to be set
- November 19, Thursday (ET): Expected to begin public trading on Nasdaq (pending regulatory approval)
