Anthropic and OpenAI join SpaceX in IPO preparations, NYT says

Investing.com -- Artificial intelligence giants Anthropic and OpenAI have taken early steps toward going public, joining Elon Musk’s SpaceX in what could become a blockbuster year for tech IPOs.

According to a New York Times report on Wednesday, both AI companies have begun preliminary work on potential public offerings. Meanwhile, SpaceX has already begun interviewing banks to lead its previously rumored IPO, the report added.

These three companies would rank among the most valuable to ever go public since Saudi Aramco’s 2019 debut, which valued the energy giant at $1.7 trillion. Anthropic is currently in funding talks that could value it at $350 billion, while OpenAI carries an estimated worth of $500 billion. SpaceX was most recently valued at $800 billion.

The potential public offerings of these tech giants could create what some are calling an "IPO supercycle" or "monster listing mania," setting up a watershed moment for Silicon Valley and the artificial intelligence sector.

If all three companies proceed with their plans, 2026 could mark a historic year for high-profile tech listings on public markets.
