## Summary

Anthropic reportedly told investors that its revenue rose 45% to $16.8 billion in the three months ended in late September, according to the BBC. The figure was presented at a briefing for prospective investors as the Claude developer prepares for a possible stock-market listing, expected before the end of the year. Revenue reportedly increased from $4.7 billion in the first quarter to $11.6 billion in the following period.

According to the BBC, Anthropic also reportedly said at the meeting that it had posted a profit for a second consecutive quarter. The information comes as investors worry about the hundreds of billions of dollars being spent on artificial-intelligence infrastructure; shares in chipmakers and other technology companies fell in the United States and Asia. Anthropic declined to comment.

## Why it matters (editorial interpretation)

If confirmed, the figures presented by Anthropic could shape investors’ assessment of the financial sustainability of AI companies ahead of a possible listing. Concern over infrastructure spending also makes the reported growth and profit relevant, though the company did not publicly confirm them.
