Analysts say Anthropic's Q3 results undercut its IPO math

Anthropic’s third quarter results mean IPO math and history are not on its side, analysts say

AI Overview

Anthropic's third quarter revenue rose nearly 47% from the prior quarter while compute and infrastructure expenses climbed about 77% to $9.9 billion.

Why it matters

Anthropic's Q3 numbers show revenue growth slowing while compute costs jump, and analysts explain why the $1.5T to $2T IPO range would demand a price-to-sales multiple only 14 of 4,110 IPOs since 1980 have matched.
