OpenAI

On October 30th, according to multiple authoritative financial media outlets, OpenAI , a leading company in the field of artificial intelligence, has officially begun preparations for its IPO. Sources close to the company in investment banking revealed that OpenAI plans to submit its listing application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission around the third quarter of 2026, and if all goes smoothly, it will go public in 2027.

IPO

Market analysis suggests that the expected valuation of this initial public offering may exceed the trillion-dollar mark, a scale that could make it one of the most influential IPOs in global securities history. In earlier internal discussions, the company set a benchmark fundraising target of no less than $60 billion, but the final fundraising size may exceed the target depending on market feedback.

However, sources familiar with the matter emphasized that the listing plan is still in the preliminary demonstration stage, and the specific valuation range, financing amount and listing timeline will be dynamically adjusted based on the company's technology commercialization progress and the global capital market environment over the next two years.

It is worth noting that OpenAI CFO Sarah Friyal stated clearly in a recent closed-door investor meeting that the company's management has set a strategic goal of completing an IPO in 2027, a statement that received a positive response from major institutional investors.
