Bloomberg Intelligence hosted by Paul Sweeney and Scarlet Fu
-Ed Ludlow, Bloomberg Tech host, discusses how Anthropic filed for an IPO, warning its technology carried existential risks even as it moved a step closer to being the first company focused primarily on developing the most advanced artificial intelligence models to go public. The company behind Claude expects to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol ANT, a filing Monday with the US Securities and Exchange Commission showed. Anthropic filed confidentially in June for a listing.
-Michael Shepard, Bloomberg News senior technology editor, on how the Anthropic IPO is being led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley, along with 20 other banks, the filing shows. Anthropic and some of its shareholders are offering stock in the IPO, according to the filing. The amount of shares they’re offering will be disclosed in a later filing.
-Mark Niquette, Bloomberg News real economy reporter, on President Trump’s affordability crisis and the upcoming midterm elections.
-Jody Lurie, Bloomberg Intelligence credit analyst, on how Norwegian Cruise bonds could stay pressured, as net leverage rising to over 6x by year-end suggests a prior goal of 4.5x is unattainable by next year without a large one-time capital infusion. Equity investors' impatience may mean bigger asset sales or other creative steps.
