Before the bell,
read the file.

Two frontier AI labs have submitted confidential IPO drafts. A defence company has doubled its private valuation. Others have already listed—or chosen a buyer instead. The interesting question is not who is next. It is what the evidence actually says.

The two everyone is watching.

Confidential S-1 drafts are confirmed. Listing dates and offer prices are not.

03 / The defence file

Anduril is not waiting for the bell.

Anduril raised $5 billion in a May 2026 Series H at a $61 billion valuation. The defence technology company remains private and has not announced an IPO date.

Some stories ended differently.

Completed public listings and one acquisition agreement, kept here so the record stays intact.

Method & disclaimer: This is an editorial watchlist, not investment advice. Company-announced financing values, reported secondary prices, targets and public-market prices are different measurements. A confidential filing is not a confirmed offer date. Every company file has a dated evidence record; some figures are explicitly reported estimates rather than company disclosures. FreeMalta's OpenAI partnership does not imply access to non-public IPO information. Do your own research before making any investment decision.
