OpenAI’s IPO now looks likely to slip to 2027. Reports say the company made a confidential filing this month, which gives it more time to get ready, deal with regulators, and wait for a better window in the market.
People advising the company are reportedly saying the tech market still looks too shaky for a megacap offering, especially if OpenAI wants to come out at a $1 trillion valuation. Filing confidentially gives it room to keep working behind the scenes, respond to regulators, and sit tight while market sentiment stays uneven after SpaceX’s weak aftermarket trading.
OpenAI also has a lot to clear before any listing. The company was last valued at about $852 billion in private funding, and Sam Altman reportedly doesn’t want it going public below $1 trillion. At the same time, OpenAI is said to have brought in $13 billion in revenue last year, but it’s still losing money heavily. On top of that, SoftBank shares reportedly dropped about 13% after the delay chatter, and rival Anthropic has also confidentially filed after Anthropic’s roughly $965 billion valuation.
If you follow AI stocks, this delay matters. Public investors may still not be ready to pay up for a company growing fast while posting heavy losses.
For now, there won’t be a public prospectus to read because OpenAI’s filing is confidential, so you’ll have to wait for any eventual SEC release.
