**What happened:** Anthropic PBC will meet prospective investors on 14 October at its San Francisco headquarters, [Bloomberg reported](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-10-01/anthropic-is-said-to-plan-pre-ipo-investor-day-as-listing-nears) on 1 October, citing people familiar with the matter.

**The details:** Invitations recently went out to a select group of institutional investors. They will be able to question senior executives.

**The timeline:** Anthropic could begin formally marketing the IPO the week of 9 November. It is aiming to list before Thanksgiving. Bloomberg describes this as the company's firmest timeline yet. Earlier reports had pointed to October 2026.

**The numbers:** The reported target valuation is up to $2 trillion or more. That would make it the largest IPO of all time. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan are reported as underwriters.

**The context:** Reuters has reported on Anthropic's S-1 prospectus, which showed 2025 revenue up 12x to roughly $4.6 billion. The company's last private valuation was about $965 billion, in the May 2026 Series H-1. [Yahoo Finance](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/article/anthropic-reportedly-looking-to-ipo-as-early-as-mid-november-180315768.html) also reported the mid-November IPO target.

**The rivals:** OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said OpenAI's own IPO is not coming this year.

**The catch:** The dates and valuation come from anonymous sources and could change. Anthropic has not commented publicly.

**Why it matters:** A listing at the reported valuation would be the largest IPO ever. The investor day is the first reported step in putting Anthropic's case directly to institutional buyers.

**What's next:** The investor day is on 14 October. Formal IPO marketing could follow the week of 9 November.
