From SpaceX to Anthropic, markets have a new playbook for mega-share debuts

Anthropic is gearing up for its highly anticipated IPO, aiming to raise as much as $64.4 billion with share prices ranging from $70 to $78. The company is targeting inclusion in major indexes soon after its debut, which is expected to boost passive investments. Similar to SpaceX's market entry, analysts forecast significant initial share price surges, with employees permitted to sell some of their shares on the opening day.
