Market Chatter: Anthropic Now Eyeing IPO in November

07:33 AM EDT, 09/21/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Amazon-backed (AMZN) Anthropic is now eyeing its initial public offering in November, later than the expected launch in October, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing sources familiar with the matter. The move comes as executives of leading artificial intelligence firms call for a slowdown in AI development, according to the report. However, the shift to November was made before the recent public debate over the pace of AI development, according to people familiar with the timing. Anthropic plans to meet prospective investors in the coming days to evaluate interest in the potential IPO, sources told The Wall Street Journal. Anthropic did not respond to MT Newswires' request for a comment. (Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
