Anthropic IPO: Date, Ticker, Price and How to Buy ANT Stock

The Anthropic IPO does not have an official date yet, but the Claude maker is expected to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker “ANT” as soon as mid-November 2026. Anthropic filed its public registration statement on October 26 and an amended version on November 2, and it still has not set a price range or the number of shares it will sell. Here is what we know about the timing, the price, the share structure and how ordinary investors can buy in.

When Is the Anthropic IPO Date?

Anthropic has not announced a first trading day. The shares can only be sold after the SEC declares the registration statement effective, and the company has not said when it expects that to happen.

Reports fill in the rest. The Wall Street Journal and Reuters have said the company is aiming to debut in the week of November 16, and Yahoo Finance calculated that SEC timing rules make Monday, November 16 the earliest realistic trading day. Because Anthropic first filed confidentially, its investor roadshow can only start 15 days after the public filing, so marketing could begin around November 9 or 10. Financing publication IFR has reported a roadshow starting November 9, with pricing the following week.

The schedule can still slip. Market swings, regulatory questions or weak demand during the roadshow can all push an IPO back, and US Thanksgiving on November 26 narrows the window.

Anthropic IPO timeline so far

• June 1, 2026: confidential draft registration submitted to the SEC.
• October 26, 2026: public S-1 filed, proposed Nasdaq ticker ANT.
• November 2, 2026: Amendment No. 1 adds third-quarter results and names retail brokers.
• Next: an amended filing with the price range and share count, then the roadshow, pricing and first trade.

What Is the Anthropic Stock Ticker?

Anthropic has applied to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol ANT. Until the shares actually start trading, there is no Anthropic stock price to look up, and any “ANT” quote you see before the debut is not for Anthropic shares sold in this IPO.

How Much Will Anthropic Stock Cost?

Nobody knows yet. The cover of the amended S-1 filed on November 2 still reads “between $ and $” for the expected price, and the share count is blank as well. Companies usually publish a range in another amendment just before the roadshow, then set the final price the night before trading starts, based on investor orders.

What we do have are valuation signals. Anthropic’s last private round was a $65 billion Series H in May 2026 at a $965 billion post-money valuation. Talk around the IPO has gone higher: IFR reported that the company was targeting a raise of up to $100 billion at a $2 trillion valuation, while The Wall Street Journal reported on November 2 that some institutional investors are pushing for $1.5 trillion to $1.6 trillion instead, citing the recent tech selloff and AI spending worries.

For comparison, rival OpenAI is reportedly raising its latest private funding round at a $1.25 trillion valuation, according to The Wall Street Journal.

How to Buy Anthropic Stock

There are two ways for individual investors to get Anthropic shares.

1. Request shares at the IPO price

The amended filing says part of the offering will be sold to retail investors through six brokerage platforms acting as selling group members:

• Charles Schwab
• Fidelity
• Robinhood
• SoFi
• E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley
• Trade-PMR

Shares bought this way cost the same initial public offering price as institutional orders. Each broker sets its own eligibility rules, request windows and allocation terms, and popular IPOs are often oversubscribed, so a request does not guarantee you will receive shares. If you want to try, check your broker’s IPO section once the price range is published.

2. Buy on the Nasdaq after the debut

Once ANT starts trading, anyone with a brokerage account that offers US stocks can buy it at the market price. First-day prices for hot IPOs can move far above the offering price, so a limit order is the safer way to avoid paying more than you intended.

Can you buy Anthropic stock outside the US?

Yes, in some countries. The filing says the deal includes public offerings in Australia, Canada, certain member states of the European Economic Area, Japan, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, although Anthropic does not plan to list the shares on any exchange in those markets. Bloomberg has reported that Anthropic wants to raise up to $3.5 billion from Japanese investors, as we noted in our coverage of its Q3 revenue. Elsewhere, investors can buy ANT through an international broker once it trades in New York.

What Do Anthropic Shareholders Actually Get?

Public investors will buy Class A shares with one vote each, but control stays elsewhere. Anthropic is a public benefit corporation, which means directors must balance shareholder returns with its stated purpose: “the responsible development and maintenance of advanced AI for the long-term benefit of humanity.”

• Class F: a single share held by an LLC owned by the seven co-founders, including CEO Dario Amodei and President Daniela Amodei, carries 50.1% of the total voting power.
• Class T: held by the Long-Term Benefit Trust, which elects the directors who make up a majority of the board.
• Class E and Class N: employee and strategic partner classes with limited or no voting rights.

As a result, Anthropic will be a “controlled company” under Nasdaq rules. It has also never paid a dividend and says it does not expect to pay one in the foreseeable future.

Anthropic’s Finances Before the IPO

The amended filing shows third-quarter 2026 revenue of $16.96 billion, up 1,127% from a year earlier, but also a $23.3 billion net loss, and a $567 million operating loss. Anthropic lists about $895.4 billion of purchase commitments and leases, almost all for compute and infrastructure, with about $69.8 billion due in the 12 months after September 30. It had $146.6 billion in liquidity at the end of the quarter. The company’s first filing, covered in our report on its move toward a public offering, also flagged long lists of AI and governance risks.

When Can Insiders Sell?

Directors, officers and holders of substantially all existing shares have agreed to a 180-day lock-up, with some staged early releases and an extended 365-day lock-up for part of the stock. That matters for new buyers: share sales by early investors and employees as these windows open can put pressure on the price in the months after the debut.
