Core Highlights on Upcoming AI IPOs
OpenAI and Anthropic are expected to launch their initial public offerings (IPOs) this year, raising investor interest despite public skepticism about artificial intelligence (AI). A recent NBC poll indicates that 57% of registered voters believe the risks of AI outweigh its benefits, yet a Motley Fool survey shows 62% of investors anticipate strong long-term returns from AI stocks.
OpenAI recently completed a funding round that raised $122 billion, bringing its valuation to $852 billion, while Anthropic raised $30 billion and is now valued at $380 billion. OpenAI boasts 900 million weekly users and projects $280 billion in annual revenue by 2030, while Anthropic estimates $150 billion in annual revenue by 2029.
As tech companies increasingly pivot to AI, the landscape for investors is changing. Major players like Microsoft and Alphabet are heavily investing in AI ventures, indicating that even those skeptical of AI may find their portfolios benefiting indirectly from upcoming IPOs.
