Anthropic picks law firm to start work on IPO
Catch up on the top artificial intelligence news and commentary by Wall Street analysts on publicly traded companies in the space with this daily recap compiled by The Fly:
Multiple Microsoft (MSFT) divisions have adjusted lower their targets for how much sales personnel are expected to grow their sales of certain AI products after many of them missed the company’s growth goals in the fiscal year that ended in June, The Information reports. Less than a fifth of the company’s Azure sales unit met their Foundry sales-growth targets, and in July, Microsoft lowered their targets to about 25% growth for the current fiscal year relative to the last one, the report states.
Jefferies tells investors in a research note that Microsoft pushed back on this morning’s report from The Information, stressing that key metrics tell a very different story, including a 14-point acceleration in RPO growth to 51% year over year and ongoing capacity constraints driven by demand exceeding supply. Company commentary and industry checks point to strong, sustained Copilot adoption, the firm says. Jefferies says The Information “completely missed the point.”
Anthropic has tapped a law firm to begin work on its IPO, which could come as soon as 2026, and has held preliminary talks with big investment banks about an offering, The Financial Times’ George Hammond reports. According to two people with knowledge of the situation, the start-up’s discussions are preliminary and informal, suggesting that the company is not close to picking its IPO underwriters. In November, Anthropic announced strategic partnerships with Nvidia (NVDA) and Microsoft, and said Amazon (AMZN) remains its primary cloud provider and training partner.
Wells Fargo initiated coverage of Oracle (ORCL). The firm believes Oracle will emerge as the leader in the artificial intelligence “super-cycle.” The company has booked nearly half a trillion dollars of AI deals and is in the “pole position” with key accounts like OpenAI, xAI, Meta (META) and TikTok, Wells tells investors in a research note. The firm points out the stock is down 42% from its highs.
