Anthropic Valuation Surge Signals Early Stage of AI Investment Wave

Anthropic's latest funding round valued the artificial intelligence company at $965 billion after securing $65 billion in capital, marking a milestone toward the $1 trillion threshold. According to Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, Anthropic's growth is "just the tip of the sphere," with investor demand for AI companies still in early stages. Ives estimates the sector is less than 10-15% through the AI revolution. A series of major public offerings planned for 2026 will reshape Wall Street activity, with SpaceX, Anthropic and OpenAI positioned as transformational players. Supporting infrastructure companies focused on data management, including Snowflake and Datadog, are expected to benefit substantially from elevated enterprise spending patterns. Ives forecasts the Nasdaq could reach 30,000 points by 2027. Some analysts caution that the volume of high-profile offerings could indicate market peaks, drawing comparisons to late-1990s market conditions.
