This year has already delivered one of the most extraordinary IPO periods in recent years. ****** eX (SPCX), Cerebras (CBRS), and Jersey Mike's (JMKE) have been some of the buzzier names to debut in public markets.
But this could be just the tip of the IPO iceberg as we look into the fall — and along with it, some very bold promises on future performance.
Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) has filed confidentially for a potential IPO as soon as October. The Claude creator may pitch to investors that its potential revenue opportunities are above $30 trillion, per a new report from the Wall Street Journal.
OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) is not far behind, judging by all the execs it has sent packing this summer. It too could follow Anthropic with a seemingly outlandish future revenue estimate.
"I actually like it [the revenue estimate] because it talks about sort of what the opportunity is. If it's enterprise, if it's consumer, it's coding, it's actually changing not only how we do work, but also how we develop products. I think it is viable," Connor Group managing partner Jim Neesen said on Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid. "I mean, if you look at their revenue growth, $65 billion is their run rate. They were $9 billion last year. That's a sevenfold increase. I do think that market opportunity is out there."
