If Anthropic Goes Public at $1 Trillion Or More, This Company Could Be a Big Winner
Yahoo Finance ·
Now that the dust has settled on the massive IPO of Space Exploration Technologies ( SPCX 0.12% ) , better known as SpaceX, another trillion-dollar listing could be just around the corner. Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI tools, has already filed a confidential S-1, indicating that it could go public within the next few months. And with its latest fundraising round occurring at a $965 billion valuation, we could see a market cap well above $1 trillion when it does. Alphabet ( GOOGL 1.49% ) ( GOOG 1.66% ) has quietly been one of the biggest winners of SpaceX's rise, owning about 6% of the space and AI conglomerate. But its early investments in Anthropic could pay off even more. In the first quarter of 2026, Alphabet reported its highest single-quarter profit ever. But $28.7 billion of the $62.6 billion total came from investment gains, not from Google's numerous businesses. Most of this was from marking up its Anthropic investment .
AI 시장 분석
Anthropic filed a confidential S-1 and recorded a valuation of 9650억달러 in its recent funding round, raising the likelihood that its market capitalization could exceed 1조달러 at IPO. Alphabet boosted earnings by recognizing substantial investment gains in Q1 from its stake in Anthropic, and the listing could both realize the value of its holdings and increase earnings volatility. A major AI IPO would stimulate demand for AI software, semiconductors and cloud infrastructure and raise growth expectations for related industries, but excessive valuations and regulatory concerns are likely to act as sources of increased volatility risk across growth stocks.
