IllustrationAnthropic, the maker of Claude, has filed an updated S-1 with the SEC. The filing adds results for the September quarter to its original IPO paperwork, first reported by CNBC-TV18. The company is preparing for a possible stock market debut, which could be one of the biggest IPOs ever recorded.
For January to September, revenue was $33.24 billion, up roughly 1,200% year on year. Q3 revenue was nearly $17 billion, while the first six months of 2026 brought in $16.29 billion. The net loss for nine months was $104.04 billion, versus $25.11 billion a year earlier.
Q3 net loss was $23.29 billion, down from $66.3 billion in the previous quarter. The company posted an operating loss of $567 million in Q3, after operating income of $974 million in Q2. Much of the reported loss comes from non-cash accounting adjustments, mainly the revaluation of convertible notes and other financing instruments, tied to the rise in the company's valuation.
The filing also shows computing-related spending commitments of about $895.4 billion. These include lease agreements with partners such as Amazon and Google.
