Anthropic claims $16.8 billion in quarterly revenue before its stock market entry

The American artificial intelligence specialist Anthropic reportedly generated $16.8 billion in revenue in the third quarter of 2026, an increase of about 45% in three months. These figures, reported by the Financial Times and Bloomberg, come as the company prepares for a possible stock market listing in November, which could be among the most important in the history of financial markets. Anthropic is accelerating its growth as it approaches a potential listing. The developer of the artificial intelligence model Claude reportedly announced to institutional investors a revenue of $16.8 billion in the third quarter of 2026, according to information published by the Financial Times and Bloomberg. Presented on Wednesday during a meeting held at the company's headquarters in San Francisco, these results were not audited. Anthropic did not wish to comment on this information. The growth remains significant nevertheless. After more than doubling between the first and second quarters, rising from $4.8 billion to $11.6 billion, revenue reportedly increased by about 45% in three months. This evolution demonstrates the growing demand for the artificial intelligence solutions developed by the company, even as the growth rate slows down. Anthropic claims to be profitable for the second consecutive quarter on an adjusted basis, which excludes certain charges such as stock-based compensation. The company also indicates that it generates more cash than it consumes and earns $1.70 in revenue for every dollar spent on computing power. The company is now preparing a stock market listing likely to occur in November 2026. According to Bloomberg, the marketing of the shares could begin during the week of November 9th, with a listing planned before Thanksgiving, November 26th. Anthropic has, however, not confirmed any official schedule. The valuations mentioned by some investors would be between $1.8 trillion and $2 trillion, compared to $965 billion in May. If these estimates materialize, the operation could reach exceptional scale and surpass the record of $85.7 billion attributed to SpaceX upon its listing in June.
