IPO Wave Nears as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic Prepare for Public Listings
SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are accelerating plans for public offerings, potentially setting the stage for a historic IPO wave in 2026. Elon Musk's SpaceX has privately signaled its intent to list within the next year, contingent on stable financial markets. Anthropic has engaged Wilson Sonsini to prepare its offering, while OpenAI is in discussions with top legal firms, including Cooley, to navigate its debut.
Valuations for these tech giants continue to skyrocket. OpenAI, currently valued at $500 billion, is in early talks to raise fresh capital that could push its worth beyond $750 billion. SpaceX is exploring private share sales at an $800 billion valuation, and Anthropic is similarly seeking new investment to bolster its position ahead of its public debut.
