Anthropic's IPO process is firmly in motion: underwriting banks began scheduling meetings between company executives and prospective investors as of July 15, 2026, signaling a Nasdaq debut potentially as early as October 2026 at a valuation near $965 billion.[1] This investor outreach marks the opening stage of the roadshow process, which typically precedes an IPO by four to eight weeks[2] — consistent with an October listing well before the December 31 deadline. Key risks remain: Anthropic has not set a share price, share count, or listing date, and the timing will depend on market conditions and other factors.[3] Meanwhile, OpenAI's CFO has signaled a possible 2027 listing[4], which reduces competition for the same institutional capital pool and modestly improves Anthropic's window.
