Anthropic retracts IPO pricing details sent to bankers, says figures were inaccurate

Anthropic retracted its IPO pricing details sent to bankers, citing inaccuracies. The filing initially showed plans to sell about 867 million shares at $70 to $80 each, but the company declined to comment. Investors are awaiting a corrected filing for confirmed share count, price range, and valuation, with some pushing for a lower valuation after last week's AI selloff.
