Anthropic and OpenAI Take Diverging Paths on IPOs

Yahoo Finance ·

Two prominent artificial intelligence laboratories are pursuing completely different fundraising strategies. Claude developer Anthropic is reportedly planning an initial public offering as early as mid-November and could file as soon as Friday. Meanwhile, ChatGPT creator OpenAI has postponed its stock market debut and is currently in discussions to secure another private funding round. Anthropic confidentially submitted a draft S-1 to the SEC on June 1. The company reported strong financial momentum, with third-quarter revenue reaching $16.8 billion, up from $11.5 billion in the second quarter and $4.7 billion in the first quarter. Furthermore, Anthropic achieved adjusted profitability for the second consecutive quarter, generated positive free cash flow, and posted a compute margin exceeding 40 percent. With SpaceX having gone public in June and OpenAI stepping back from public markets for now, market conditions appear favorable for Anthropic to capture investor attention.

Anthropic reported Q3 revenue of $16.8 billion, achieving adjusted profitability and positive free cash flow for the second consecutive quarter, pushing for an IPO as early as mid-November. In contrast, OpenAI delayed its IPO timeline to beyond 2027 and is discussing private fundraising. This contrasting behavior shows a shift in investment attraction strategies within the AI sector, drawing market attention to Anthropic.

Anthropic proved its solid financial performance by recording $1.70 in revenue per $1 of computing power and a computing margin exceeding 40%. In particular, the ripening market demand for large-scale IPOs following SpaceX's June listing is acting positively for the push toward going public.

In the bullish scenario, a successful IPO along with massive capital inflows will expand the related ecosystem, while in the bearish scenario, there is a risk of deteriorating profitability due to soaring AI infrastructure maintenance costs. As the IPO schedule becomes more concrete, additional financial metrics in the S-1 filing must be closely monitored.
