OpenAI delays IPO to 2027 after SpaceX stumble; now chasing $1T valuation

<cite index="61-1,61-4">OpenAI was widely expected to go for an IPO in 2026, and the company led by CEO Sam Altman confidentially filed to go public on June 8. The New York Times said SpaceX's public market debut—the first of what was expected to be several mega-cap IPOs this year—has made OpenAI's advisors more cautious</cite>. <cite index="70-2">OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, had prepared for a public offering as early as the third or fourth quarter of this year. At the same time, Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman reportedly pushed for a valuation of $1 trillion</cite>.

<cite index="61-2">Traders on prediction market platform Kalshi think an IPO will now arrive early next year, with a 59% chance of an announcement by March 1, 2027</cite>. <cite index="65-2">The company's advisors reportedly laid out two paths: wait until 2027 and chase a valuation of about $1 trillion, or go public sooner at a lower price. CEO Sam Altman reportedly rejected any cut to that trillion-dollar target</cite>. <cite index="63-2">SoftBank Group Corp.'s stock fell the most since August 2024 on concerns that OpenAI may hold off on an initial public offering until next year and delay returns for its Japanese backer. SoftBank's investment in the ChatGPT maker is slated to stand at roughly $65 billion by October</cite>.

For architects and investors in the AI stack, this signals a recalibration of mega-cap IPO appetite and valuation discipline. <cite index="65-2">Artificial intelligence and chip stocks were sliding again Friday, and this time the spark came from a company that isn't even public yet. Reports surfaced that OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, is leaning toward delaying its initial public offering until 2027. Nvidia slipped about 1.5% as of this writing, while Advanced Micro Devices, Broadcom, and a swath of other semiconductor names fell further</cite>. The delay underscores tension between founder ambitions ($1T valuation) and CFO prudence (continued high burn rate, volatile mega-cap IPO market). Investors betting on liquidity events and cash returns face extended capital lockup.
