Anthropic announced that it generated $16.8 billion in revenue during the third quarter of 2026, and it also disclosed an adjusted profit, according to an investor event held at its San Francisco headquarters. The announcement came just weeks before the company’s planned debut on the stock market.
The growth illustrates a rapid acceleration in the company’s top line.
Bloomberg reports that formal marketing could start as early as the week of November 9, with trading potentially beginning before Thanksgiving on November 26.
At the investor event, CEO Dario Amodei and chief financial officer Krishna Rao met with potential shareholders, and many attendees left the session optimistic about the company’s growth path.
The announcement comes amid broader industry chatter about safety and cost. Anthropic has released a cheaper small‑model variant, Claude Haiku 5.5, which is said to cost roughly 75 percent less than its predecessor, and the company’s CEO has called for a slower pace of AI development to allow safety measures to catch up.
