Later this year, we might see artificial intelligence (AI) powerhouse Anthropic list on the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). If the IPO goes ahead, it\u2019s likely to be a big one \u2013 we could be looking at a valuation of well over $1trn.<\/p>\n

Interested in gaining exposure to the AI company before the IPO? Here\u2019s a strategy that could be worth considering.<\/p>\n

This company has a huge stake in Anthropic <\/p>\n

Back in May 2023, communications company Zoom (NASDAQ: ZM), the company that makes the video call platform, made an investment in Anthropic through its investment arm, Zoom Ventures. The exact financial terms weren\u2019t publicly disclosed in the initial press release. However, analysts have estimated that the early-stage investment was worth around $51m.<\/p>\n

Back then, Anthropic was only valued at around $4.5bn. Today though, the company\u2019s valued at around $900bn. That means Zoom\u2019s stake has increased in value about 200-fold. Believe it or not, that $51m\u2019s now worth about $10.2bn (assuming it hasn\u2019t sold any of its position).<\/p>\n

The thing is, Zoom\u2019s market-cap\u2019s only around $29bn today, meaning that about 35% of its market-cap\u2019s related to Anthropic. In other words, if an investor was to put \u00a310,000 into Zoom stock today at the current share price (just under $100), they\u2019d essentially be investing around \u00a33,500 in Anthropic.<\/p>\n

Other attractions <\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth pointing out that Zoom has other things going for it, beyond the large investment in Anthropic. For a start, we have consistent revenue growth.<\/p>\n

Despite a huge \u2018pull forward\u2019 in revenue during the pandemic, and competition in the video call market from the likes of Microsoft Teams and Google Meet, Zoom\u2019s revenue\u2019s grown every year over the last five years. Last financial year (ended 31 January), it hit $4.869bn.<\/p>\n

One thing to note here is that Zoom\u2019s heavily focused on enterprise customers (about 60% of its revenues are enterprise related). These kinds of customers (big institutions) tend to be more stable than retail customers.<\/p>\n

We also have a strong balance sheet. This is a company that\u2019s financially sound.<\/p>\n

How\u2019s the valuation? <\/p>\n

As for the valuation, it\u2019s relatively low. Looking at earnings forecasts for the current financial year, the forward-looking price-to-earnings (P\/E) ratio is only 17.<\/p>\n

So investors aren\u2019t paying a huge premium for the Anthropic exposure. Right now, the company\u2019s reasonably valued.<\/p>\n

(Quietly) ticking higher <\/p>\n

One other attraction of the stock is that it\u2019s not really very popular or well owned (there\u2019s no hype around it). This means there\u2019s scope for a re-rating.<\/p>\n
