Three of the world's most prominent technology firms-Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX-are actively pursuing initial public offerings, creating a rare competitive rush in the market.
Anthropic has confidentially filed a draft registration statement with the SEC. The law firm Freshfields is advising the company on the process. OpenAI is also preparing for a public offering but is considering a potential delay to 2027 due to market uncertainties.
SpaceX is targeting a record-breaking listing expected to raise over $75 billion, with a planned date in mid-2026. The simultaneous pursuit by these AI and aerospace leaders underscores a high-stakes period for the IPO market, drawing significant interest from major banks and investors.
