The rating came ahead of a $35bn chip financing deal led by Apollo. KBRA based its assessment on limited financial disclosures from Anthropic, excluding metrics like free cash flow and EBITDA, and used a 'risk score' instead of full financial models. About $4.4bn of the financing's junior debt directly exposes lenders to Anthropic's credit risk, carrying a yield of about 8.5%, while Broadcom guaranteed the remainder at 5.75%. Investors expect Anthropic's planned IPO to value the company at more than $2tn, and the company expects to spend over $500bn on computing infrastructure over the next decade. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
