Anthropic and OpenAI are expected to follow SpaceX as the next major public listings in 2026, according to market observers tracking the wave of AI-driven company IPOs.
SpaceX’s record-breaking debut is viewed as the opening act in a trio of high-profile offerings tied to artificial intelligence and adjacent infrastructure. Both Anthropic and OpenAI have been subjects of IPO speculation as private valuations climbed through successive funding rounds.
Investment banks and institutional investors are positioning for allocations in companies whose models underpin enterprise automation, coding assistants, and consumer applications. Listing timelines depend on regulatory filings, market conditions, and corporate readiness.
The anticipated sequence underscores how AI firms have moved from research labs to candidates for the largest public capital raises. Success or stumble in SpaceX’s aftermath may influence pricing and demand for the subsequent debuts.
