Anthropic IPO priced at top of range $78… futures trading at $98

Anthropic filed an amended SEC registration for an IPO of 825 million common shares at an expected price range of $70–$78 per share, applying to list on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT. Perpetual futures tied to the company were trading at $98 per share at the time of CNBC's report, above the top of the proposed range, though the two prices are not directly comparable because no public market for Anthropic stock existed before the offering. The filing sets up one of the largest AI-related listings and gives investors a first public valuation benchmark for the Claude developer. What to watch next is the final offer price and first-day trading, which will show whether the futures premium holds once actual shares begin changing hands.
