Anthropic Expected to Get High Junk Rating After IPO
Understand the story
According to a TechCrunch report citing the Financial Times, Blackstone told investors in a recent $63 billion deal financing Anthropic's chips that it expects Anthropic to receive a high-rated junk credit rating after its IPO — the double-B range, the top tier of speculative grade. Notably, Blackstone had previously said Anthropic would achieve an investment-grade rating by 2027. Anthropic officially filed for its listing in the week of the report; both companies declined to comment. If the rating lands in speculative grade as expected, it would make Anthropic's financing harder and more costly.
