Anthropic lowers IPO valuation target to $1.02-trillion

Anthropic targets a $1.02-trillion valuation in its US IPO, down from earlier discussions, aiming to raise $64.4bn by selling 825-million shares at $70-$78 per share. The company's net loss narrowed as revenue grew 47% to $16.96bn in Q3. Investors have questioned the valuation due to AI sector volatility and infrastructure costs. The IPO, led by Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, is expected to set a sector benchmark.
