FT States Anthropic Is Planning an IPO at $2T+ Valuation: Buy the Rumor, Sell the News & Market Top?

By Douglas Kim

  • According to Financial Times, Anthropic is preparing to complete an IPO of $2 trillion or more in October 2026, which would be the largest IPO in history.
  • This is likely to clearly benefit early investors in the company such as SK Telecom which had a 0.3% stake in Anthropic at the end of 2025.
  • Given the fact that Anthropic is likely to complete its IPO sometime in October 2026, the further alpha on SK Telecom could take place in the next 1-2 months.

Pre-IPO Gemilai Holdings – Is Coffee Machine a Good Business?

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Under the current e-commerce “price comparison” mechanism, coupled with the peak of traffic dividends, there is still uncertainty as to whether domestic coffee machine brands can maintain long-term growth.
  • Compared with fast-moving consumer goods, coffee machines, as durable goods, have a low frequency of repeat purchases by consumers. This may lead to declining performance growth of Gemilai.
  • Given the expected about 40% profit CAGR over the next three years, the market may offer a valuation higher than traditional home appliance stocks such as Midea (e.g. 20-25x P/E).

Pre-IPO Big Catering International Holding – The Business Model, the Pain Points and the Outlook

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The advantage of Big Catering lies in its differentiated Buffet model, but its disadvantage is “heavy asset” model, which results in significant lagging behind in cost control and expansion speed.
  • The core of low net profit margin stems from the rigid pressure of cost structure.If Big Catering wants to expand southward, it will face intense competition and high education costs.

Pre-IPO Suzhou Dongshan Precision Manufacturing (A/H Listing) – The Turning Point Has Occurred
