Anthropic’s upcoming IPO on Nasdaq under the ticker ANT faces uncertainty over its significant unfunded financial commitments. The Financial Times reports that the company has $700 billion in obligations, which could hinder its ability to secure an investment-grade rating.

Investors will monitor Anthropic’s financial disclosures and IPO pricing, as well as any revised statements from lead underwriters and investment banks. Developments across the broader artificial intelligence sector and changes in market sentiment could also influence the IPO valuation, with expectations ranging from $1.5 trillion to $1.75 trillion versus prior valuations of up to $965 billion.
