美国IPO市场陷入“瘫痪” Anthropic被寄望打破僵局 围绕人工智能（AI）的争议令一些企业被迫按下了IPO暂停键，在Anthropic上市一天天迫近之际，数十亿美元资金和长达数月的筹备工作陷入停顿

The U.S. IPO market is "paralyzed" Anthropic is expected to break the deadlock. Controversies surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) have forced some companies to press the IPO pause button. As Anthropic's listing approaches day by day, billions of dollars in funding and months-long preparations have come to a standstill. West Riggs, head of equity capital markets at Truist Financial, said: "Everything seems to be paralyzed. The market must sort out its clues first." AI infrastructure companies such as Nscale and DayOne Data Centers, which are preparing to go public in the United States, are still emphasizing their importance to investors in the construction of AI infrastructure. However, investors' appetite for risk has faded as shares of peers such as CoreWeave have plummeted. Data shows that October is bound to be the weakest month of the year based on the scale of U.S. IPO fundraising. This is in sharp contrast to the previous hot momentum. Data shows that as of the end of September, IPO funds raised reached US$162.6 billion. Wall Street is counting on Anthropic’s expected IPO next month, hoping to earn record underwriting fee revenue. People familiar with the matter previously revealed that Anthropic’s fundraising scale may reach or even exceed SpaceX’s listing. Other companies that are testing investors' willingness to subscribe are also eager for the company to successfully list and clear the way for other IPOs. However, many people on Wall Street, like Riggs, are starting to turn their attention to next year, except for Anthropic. Riggs said in an interview: "The rest of the year does not feel very encouraging. Everyone is very optimistic about 2027, especially in the software industry, but overall, the IPO market is quite sluggish. Even several projects that we are advancing that have nothing to do with AI seem to have been postponed." Companies such as Nscale and Switch, data center developers in which Nvidia has a stake, are repeatedly polishing their IPO promotion plans. Meanwhile, about a dozen companies have made no progress with their IPO plans despite publicly filing documents with U.S. regulators. Smart ring makers Oura and Bamboo Insurance Services have also been forced to delay listings as interest rates rise and the war with Iran continues. via cnBeta.COM - Chinese industry information station (author: Source: Global Market Report)
