(Bloomberg) -- With the Labor Day holiday — and summer in the US — now officially over, the traditional push to the end of the year in the market for initial public offerings is on.
While Anthropic PBC looms largest in most eyes, a clutch of other companies in artificial intelligence and other sectors are also soon headed for the public markets.
“Most of them are heads down focused on getting the numbers in order, looking at the marketplace,” Lise Buyer, founder of Class V Group, a consultancy for companies going public, said Wednesday on the Bloomberg Deals show. “Nobody is particularly trying to time around Anthropic ... because timing is always uncertain.”
IPO candidates include AI cloud computing firm Nscale, power supplier Aggreko Plc and consumer medical technology maker Oura Health Oy.
“There are interesting areas in AI that would really pique investor interest, whether it is in the data center space, power cooling, consumer health or what have you,” said Ajay Shah, chair of technology investment banking at Deutsche Bank AG.
