Anthropic IPO valuation talk reportedly cut to about $1.5 trillion
Several Chinese financial-analysis articles report that at Anthropic's investor day in San Francisco, some investors discussed an IPO valuation of about $1.5 trillion, roughly 25% below the earlier ~$2 trillion expectation, with one investor expecting a listing at $1.4–1.5 trillion. The articles cite third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion, with quarter-over-quarter growth slowing from over 140% in the second quarter to about 45%, even as adjusted profitability continued for a second quarter. They also note at least $518 billion in committed cloud and compute spending over the next decade, about 80% non-cancelable, and that Anthropic books gross sales through AWS and Google Cloud channels while OpenAI reports net revenue.
The articles frame Anthropic's pricing debate as a reference point for how public markets are reassessing heavily capital-intensive AI companies.
几个月前，Anthropic还对标SpaceX，喊出2万亿美元的估值神话。可临近路演，不仅老股交易平台上的报价早早跌破了1.7万亿，私底下多家买方机构甚至直言：最终挂牌价如果不砍到1.5万亿以下，根本没人愿意进场做高位承接。
奇怪的是，Anthropic明明刚刚交出了一张漂亮的底牌：三季度单季收入168亿美元，经调整口径首次盈利，自由现金流翻绿。
无可挑剔的成绩单，为什么换来的却是资本市场的冷水？因为在光鲜的数据底下，市场闻到了财报粉饰的味道：
这篇文章非常硬核。它绝不是那种3分钟带你看个大概、或者写几条新闻标题就匆忙下结论的快餐内容。这是我这段时间翻完招股书底牌和财报细节后，一层一层拆解出来的商业与财务真相。
