Organisation: Anthropic. Status: private forecast reported from unnamed sources; Anthropic did not comment.

reports say a 2028 revenue projection of roughly US$190–200 billion and a May annualised run rate of US$47 billion. Bankers are reportedly considering forward revenue multiples and public comparables; the approach assumes rapid growth and improving economics despite heavy compute expenditure.

Why it matters and impact: The numbers are neither audited results nor company guidance. Investors and suppliers should stress-test inference cost, customer concentration, gross-to-net reporting, capex commitments and multiple compression.
