    There is a bit of a contrast on Anthropic's side. FT says Blackstone privately told investors that Anthropic will most likely not obtain an investment-grade rating after going public, with the expectation being "high junk grade." On one hand, the valuation is being talked up toward a trillion, and an IPO is lined up as early as November; on the other hand, those lending it money feel its credit is not good enough. The reason is not hard to guess: compute power and…(opens the original post in a new tab)

    FT reports that Anthropic is expected to receive a higher junk-grade credit rating after its IPO

    According to a Financial Times report, Blackstone told investors it expects Anthropic to be rated at a higher junk grade by credit rating agencies after its IPO. Blackstone was an anchor investor in a recent $63 billion deal to finance Anthropic's chips, and it had previously said Anthropic would obtain an investment-grade rating by 2027; it now expects a double-B (BB) range, the highest tier of speculative junk ratings. TechCrunch sought confirmation from Anthropic and Blackstone, and both declined to comment. The report noted that a high junk rating would make it harder and more costly for Anthropic to raise financing to support its large-scale spending; over the past 12 months the company has signed several large compute deals, raising investor concerns. Anthropic formally filed for a listing earlier this week.
