Anthropic’s aggressive push toward an IPO, backed by its May 2026 Series H round that valued the large language model developer at $965 billion and its revenue run rate exceeding $65 billion, drives the 97.2% market-implied probability against acquisition before 2027. The company has pursued only modest deals such as the Stainless dev-tools acquisition while walking away from larger targets like Decart AI, signaling a preference for independence and public-market readiness over the next three months. Trader consensus reflects the compressed timeline and regulatory complexity of any major transaction. Even so, an unforeseen regulatory shift or sudden strategic pivot by major investors could theoretically reopen discussions before year-end.
