Anthropic lowers its estimated valuation ahead of its Nasdaq listing, amid market turbulence and concerns about AI investments

Anthropic has lowered its expected valuation for its upcoming Nasdaq listing to between $1 trillion and $1.25 trillion, down from a previously considered $1.5 trillion. The company, which will list under the ticker ANT, had initially targeted a market capitalization of up to $2 trillion in October, after a $965 billion private valuation in May. The revision follows a challenging period for the tech sector, with the Nasdaq index experiencing significant declines.
