Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aswath Damodaran, the NYU Stern valuation professor, values Anthropic’s equity at about $1.475 trillion, which is just below the $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion range reported for its IPO. His own scenarios run from negative $373 billion, if the company fails as a going concern, to $4.04 trillion in the best case. Anthropic filed its S-1 on 26 October 2026 for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker ANT, showing first-half revenue of $16.3 billion against a net loss of $80.7 billion, most of it a non-cash charge. Damodaran says he would sit out an IPO priced well above his number, but he is not recommending a short and expects the stock to become a buy at some price.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Anthropic IPO valuation<\/strong> debate has its first heavyweight voice: Aswath Damodaran<\/strong>, the New York University finance professor known as the Dean of Valuation, published a full valuation on 28 October 2026 that puts Anthropic’s equity at about $1.475 trillion. That is just under the $1.5 trillion to $2 trillion range that has been reported for the Anthropic IPO<\/strong>, and it comes two days after the Claude maker filed its S-1 filing<\/strong> with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.<\/p>\n

This article explains what Aswath Damodaran’s Anthropic IPO valuation<\/strong> assumes, how his worst and best cases of negative $373 billion and $4.04 trillion are built, what the S-1 shows on revenue and losses, why he is wary of the share structure, and what the Anthropic IPO valuation<\/strong> means for investors who may follow the listing from India. Every figure below comes from Aswath Damodaran’s post, Anthropic’s filing or reporting on them.<\/p>\n
