Per WSJ, big investors want Anthropic's IPO priced at a $1.5T-$1.6T valuation, below the nearly $2T discussed for months. Some floated $1.5T after its October investor day, and last week's double-digit falls in Alphabet and Intel shares hardened that view.
Context: Anthropic's amended prospectus shows Q3 revenue of $17B, up from $11.6B, but expenses rose faster, turning a $974M operating profit into a loss.
