Anthropic Reports More Than $11.5 Billion in Second Quarter Revenue

The company exceeded its own May projections and posted a positive adjusted operating profit, a first.

Anthropic reported preliminary revenues exceeding $11.5 billion for its second quarter of 2026, compared to $4.73 billion in the first quarter and only $787 million a year earlier. The increase, more than a factor of 14 year-on-year, far exceeds the $10.9 billion announced in May.

Notably, the company posted a positive adjusted operating profit for the first time over the period. This financial turning point illustrates that a generative AI laboratory can achieve a form of operational profitability despite still considerable training and inference costs.
