Anthropic’s advanced preparations for a potential record IPO as soon as mid-October 2026 drive the 97% market-implied odds against an acquisition before 2027. The company raised $65 billion in May at a $965 billion valuation, reports strong revenue growth exceeding $65 billion annualized run rate, and recently abandoned a $6 billion deal for Decart AI after due diligence to prioritize its public listing. Strategic partnerships with Amazon, Nvidia, and others, plus leadership emphasis on independent scaling of Claude models, reinforce trader consensus that Anthropic will pursue autonomy through public markets rather than a near-term sale. While regulatory scrutiny of AI consolidation or an unexpected strategic pivot could theoretically intervene in the remaining months, current momentum and timeline make such shifts improbable.
