Key points
- Every technology platform reaches a moment in its lifecycle when startups prepare to enter the public markets.
- Here is the headline: the S-1 shows a business investing for growth, with the first signs of green shoots.
- Beyond the astonishing headline numbers- an $8bn operating loss for 2025 and a net loss of $42bn (bumped up by an accounting charge)- what do we see?
- Assuming Anthropic wants a decent margin, that means a trillion bucks give or take in sales over that period.
