Anthropic's confidential S-1 filing on June 1, 2026, and its targeting of a September or October debut have driven the 85.5% market-implied odds that it will reach public markets ahead of OpenAI. The company closed a massive $65 billion Series H round at a $965 billion valuation shortly before filing, positioning it for an earlier launch under bankers including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs. In contrast, OpenAI filed days later but has since signaled a potential delay until 2027 amid valuation targets near $1 trillion and internal deliberations, as reported in late June. Traders see Anthropic's faster regulatory progress and clearer fall window as the decisive edge, though both firms face typical IPO risks like market conditions and SEC review timelines.
