AI 导读
据《金融时报》报道，Anthropic 在 IPO 后预计将获得信用评级机构给出的高收益“垃圾”级评级。
摘要与补充说明
为 Anthropic 芯片融资的 630 亿美元交易中的锚定投资者 Blackstone 已向该交易的投资者表示，预计这家 AI 实验室在 IPO 后将获得“高”垃圾级评级，具体为 BB 区间，即投机级中的最高档。此前 Blackstone 曾表示 Anthropic 会在 2027 年之前获得投资级评级。Anthropic 与 Blackstone 均拒绝置评。报道指出，这一评级只是预测，但高垃圾级评级会让 Anthropic 更难、成本更高地筹集资金，以支撑其大规模支出。Anthropic 本周正式提交上市申请。

Anthropic is expected to receive a high “junk” rating from credit rating agencies following its initial public offering, according to a report from the Financial Times.
The FT says the investment giant Blackstone, the anchor investor in a recent $63 billion deal to finance Anthropic’s chips, told investors in the deal that it expects the AI lab to receive a “high” junk rating after its IPO. Previously, the FT notes, Blackstone had said the opposite: that the Claude maker would receive an investment-grade rating (indicating low risk for lenders) before 2027 rolls around.
Now Blackstone expects double B range rating, the top tier of speculative “junk” grade, according to the reporting.
TechCrunch reached out to Anthropic and Blackstone but both declined to comment.
Blackstone’s forecast is just a prediction, but naturally, a high junk rating would make it more difficult and costlier for Anthropic to raise the money to keep funding its massive spending that has undergirded its business. The lab has been on a spending spree, racking up large compute power deals throughout the past 12 months, which has worried investors.
Anthropic officially filed to go public earlier this week, kicking off a wave of speculation about how the massive IPO would impact the broader AI industry.
