what happened

Market Talk, citing a research note from eToro's Asia-Pacific lead analyst Josh Gilbert, reports that Anthropic's valuation would become harder to defend if its revenue growth decelerates sharply. According to Gilbert, the AI developer has taken on computing capacity commitments worth over $500 billion stretching far into the next decade, and it must cover most of those payments no matter how demand develops.

The analyst says growth is cooling from a very elevated level: third-quarter revenue rose roughly 45% from the prior quarter, after more than doubling in the second quarter. "With the expectations and valuation placed on Anthropic, there isn't much room for that growth curve to disappoint," Gilbert said.

why it matters

The story matters beyond one company because it shows how investors may judge AI firms going public, where growth rates must be weighed against large fixed infrastructure costs. A slowdown in revenue could influence sentiment across AI infrastructure and large technology shares.
