Anthropic Targets Nasdaq Listing with $2 Trillion Valuation
On September 13, reports emerged that AI developer Anthropic has chosen Nasdaq as the venue for its initial public offering. The listing is conditional but signals a potential valuation of up to $2 trillion, following SpaceX’s record debut on the same exchange.

OpenAI Rules Out 2026 IPO, Pressuring Tech Futures
On September 14, OpenAI publicly ruled out a 2026 IPO, causing Nasdaq futures to drop toward 29,000.

Holtec Nuclear Corporation Sets IPO Price Range
Holtec Nuclear Corporation announced the launch of its initial public offering with an expected price range of $15.00 to $18.00 per share. The offering includes a 30-day option for underwriters to purchase an additional 7,500,000 shares of Class A common stock, marking a significant entry for nuclear energy technology into the public markets
Local view
In Germany, financial media highlighted that while SpaceX dominated headlines, a "quiet" IPO performer doubled investors' money in the first half of 2026, outperforming the headline-grabbing listings. This analysis suggests that mid-cap and niche sector IPOs may offer better risk-adjusted returns than mega-cap tech debuts in the current cycle
