Ackman Praises Anthropic IPO Roadshow as Huang Exits Nvidia
What happened
Pershing Square founder Bill Ackman addressed Jensen Huang’s resignation as Nvidia CEO and praised Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei’s IPO roadshow presentation, while confirming his firm will skip direct investment in the offering due to valuation uncertainty.
The Context
* Leadership transition at chip ground zero: Following Jensen Huang's resignation on November 12, 2026, Nvidia is navigating interim leadership while market observers assess structural continuity across hardware supply chains. * Anthropic's public debut: The AI company is preparing for its Nasdaq debut under ticker ANT, pricing on November 18 and trading November 19, 2026, with an indicative target price range of $70 to $78 per share. * Capital allocation discipline: While Ackman praised Amodei’s focus on culture and operational talent, Pershing Square is bypassing direct equity allocations in favor of predictable, lower-volatility enterprise assets.
The Number
— the upper-band fully diluted valuation implied by Anthropic's $70–$78 per share IPO range, underscoring how enterprise AI multiples are testing the limits of risk-adjusted portfolio models.
Takeaway
Monitor the initial pricing of ticker ANT on November 18, 2026, as institutional participation levels will set the cost-of-capital benchmark for the entire enterprise software landscape.
