Seaport analyst declines to rate Anthropic ahead of potential largest IPO ever
Jay Goldberg of Seaport Research Partners published the first analyst note on Anthropic without assigning a rating, citing three reasons: no stock price has been set, the S-1 filing contains significant blanks, and management has not yet participated in the roadshow. Goldberg told Yahoo Finance that he will withhold judgment until these gaps are filled. The analyst also addressed Anthropic's disclosure that it will be profitable for one or two quarters before returning to losses, and discussed how much of Amazon's AI revenue relates to the company.
