Investors temper Anthropic IPO valuation expectations over revenue growth slowdown: Report
- On Thursday, Anthropic reported $16.8 billion in quarterly revenue, yet stocks plummeted as investors turned bearish on the AI trade amid valuation concerns.

- With an 85% adjusted gross margin, Anthropic still faces financing hurdles; some CoreWeave bonds yield close to 15%, signaling growing funding concerns for levered companies.
- Vey-Sern Ling, managing director at Union Bancaire Privee, warned that "the real concern is not profitability itself, but the increasingly expensive price of keeping it sustainable."
- Citrini Research posted "Oh it's over over" as figures circulated, while Geiger Capital described the revenue as "not good enough," reflecting broader skepticism about sector profitability.
