**What happened:** Investors are reassessing what Anthropic is worth ahead of its planned Nasdaq listing. A sharp selloff in AI and technology stocks has put the offering under pressure. [LA Times](https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2026-11-06/after-tech-stock-plunge-investors-rethink-what-anthropic-is-worth) reported the shift on 6 November.

**The numbers:** The Nasdaq 100 fell 6% on Thursday, losing a record $2.3 trillion in value, according to [Bloomberg](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2026-11-05/). Anthropic publicly filed its S-1 on 26 October, proposing the ticker ANT on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

**Why it matters:** The Wall Street Journal reported, citing sources, that some major investors are increasingly skeptical Anthropic can achieve a $1.5 trillion valuation. The report puts the valuation target itself in question, not just the timing.

**The context:** Reuters reported on 5 November that the AI backlash could threaten the timing of the IPO, according to potential investors. [Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/world/ai-backlash-could-threaten-anthropic-ipo-timing-potential-investors-say-2026-11-05/) carried the report.

**What's next:** The offering needs an amended S-1 with a price range before it can proceed. Reported timing puts the roadshow as early as the week of 9 November, with pricing around 13 November or the following week. These dates are unconfirmed, and Anthropic has not commented.
