AI investors are getting nervous about this key metric
Despite continued strong revenue growth, AI company valuations face investor nervousness over slowing growth rates. Anthropic reported third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion, up 45% from $11.6 billion in Q2, but this represents a decline from Q1-to-Q2 growth of 60% (from $4.7 billion to $11.6 billion). Industry observers note investor sentiment has shifted from expecting accelerating growth to merely maintaining rapid expansion. The slowdown in growth trajectory, rather than absolute performance, is raising concerns among market participants about AI company valuations.
