This market will resolve according to the bank that serves as the lead underwriter in the initial public offering of Anthropic. If no IPO occurs by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, or Anthropic completes an initial public offering without a designated lead underwriter, this market will resolve to “Other.” If multiple banks are identified as lead underwriters, this market will resolve according to the primary lead underwriter. If the hierarchy between them is unclear, this market will resolve once it is conclusively evident which bank is the primary lead underwriter, for example, through the order in which the banks are listed in the underwriting section of Anthropic’s final initial public offering prospectus, once released. The primary resolution source for this market will be official disclosures from Anthropic. A consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Goldman Sachs holds a commanding lead in market-implied odds for the lead underwriter role on Anthropic’s anticipated October 2026 IPO, reflecting its established franchise in large technology offerings and recent positioning alongside Morgan Stanley as the top bookrunners. Reports from early June confirm Anthropic selected both firms to lead after its confidential S-1 filing, with JPMorgan Chase also participating but at lower prominence; Goldman’s slight edge aligns with precedents such as its “lead left” designation on the SpaceX IPO. Recent updates highlight continued investor meetings and banker preparations amid expectations of a multi-billion-dollar raise that could value the company above $2 trillion, while factors including revenue trajectory, dual-class share structure, and listed AI-related risks in the prospectus continue to shape syndicate dynamics. Trader consensus, backed by real capital at risk, prices in Goldman’s historical execution strength and relationships in the AI sector as the dominant drivers.
