AI leaders continue to soar even as Wall Street worries about artificial intelligence disrupting broader markets. Anthropic, maker of the Claude large language model, reached a
$380 billion valuation after raising
$30 billion in a new funding round, underscoring strong enterprise demand.
Alongside Anthropic, OpenAI (valued at
$500 billion) and SpaceX—now worth about
$1.25 trillion following its merger with xAI—are seen as potential blockbuster IPOs. Though none have officially filed, their sheer size could dominate the 2026 IPO calendar and draw liquidity away from smaller offerings.
This year’s IPO market has been mixed, with some consumer and biotech names rising while others have struggled. Analysts note that investor enthusiasm may be concentrated in mega AI listings, potentially leaving less demand for mid-sized companies seeking to go public.
