Will Anthropic complete its IPO and list on a stock exchange before December 31, 2026?

Anthropic has raised substantial private funding (over $7 billion) and shows no immediate need or public signals toward an IPO. AI companies typically remain private longer given available venture capital, and the regulatory/market uncertainty around AI makes a near-term IPO less attractive. While not impossible, completing an IPO by end of 2026 would require initiating the process very soon, which seems unlikely given current company trajectory.
