OpenAI Eyes Late 2026 IPO as Annual Revenue Surpasses 25 Billion Dollars

OpenAI annualized revenue has surpassed $25 billion and the company is actively preparing for an IPO as early as Q4 2026.

OpenAI disclosed that the company's annualized revenue has exceeded $25 billion, compared to $6 billion in 2024, representing significant growth. The company is currently negotiating with multiple investment banks, targeting an IPO completion by Q4 2026 at the earliest, with a potential listing valuation exceeding $800 billion. OpenAI's enterprise clients already account for 40% of total revenue, expected to reach parity with consumer business by year-end. Despite rapid revenue growth, the company is projected to still record losses of approximately $14 billion in 2026, targeting profitability by 2030. CFO Sarah Friar stated that OpenAI plans to reserve shares for retail investors to expand public participation. This IPO, if successfully executed, would be one of the largest public offerings in the technology sector in recent years.
