Google did the same thing 20 or so years ago when they IPOed. They didn't phrase it this way, but they did this.

In Google's case it was absolutely true though. The stock was NOT over-valued.

The IPO was at a market cap of $20 B. And it never dipped below IPO price -- it doubled within a year.

And now GOOG has a market cap of $4 T, so that's 200x in 22 years.

I like Claude, but I think the likelihood that it is over-valued already is higher than it was for Google. (Though I would not really be surprised if it keeps the $2 T valuation and grows. Who knows? And it doesn't matter to me personally)
