Anthropic reported preliminary second quarter revenue of more than $11.5 billion, up from $787 million a year earlier, according to Bloomberg.

The Claude maker also reported $4.73 billion in revenue for the first quarter of 2026. Its second quarter figures showed positive adjusted operating income, though the numbers are preliminary and could change.

Anthropic is meeting with prospective investors ahead of a potential IPO. The company has filed confidentially for a listing and is working with Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase on the process.

The company said its annualized revenue run rate crossed $47 billion in May. Bloomberg reported that OpenAI has an annual run rate of more than $40 billion, though the figures may not be calculated the same way.
