Anthropic's $1.5 Trillion IPO: What Investors Should Know Before Buying

Anthropic is preparing for one of the largest IPOs in history at a $1.5 trillion valuation, even as Wall Street signals caution about the AI boom. On November 5, the Nasdaq fell 5.5% and Nvidia dropped more than 9% amid concerns over costly AI infrastructure and tighter regulation, triggering a broad tech selloff. The timing matters because Anthropic's listing will test whether public investors will pay a premium for AI exposure after the sector's first sharp pullback. What to watch next: how the IPO is priced relative to the $1.5 trillion target and whether the Nasdaq and Nvidia stabilize before the deal launches.
