OpenAI Leans Toward Waiting Until 2027 for IPO, Eyeing $1 Trillion Valuation

My take: Okay, this one is playing with serious confidence. OpenAI quietly filed its S-1 (the document you need to go public) with the SEC in June, but according to the New York Times and Bloomberg, it is leaning toward waiting until 2027. CFO Sarah Friar has already given some partners a heads-up. The reasoning comes from three directions: SpaceX's market debut was rough, tech markets are still volatile, and Sam Altman will not accept a valuation below $1 trillion, which leaves him in an on-my-terms-or-nothing position. Honestly, I get it: why go public cheaper when you can wait for the market to mature and walk in as the one who owns the game? The catch is that in AI everything moves so fast that what is worth $1 trillion today could be worth less tomorrow, or way more, depending on who launches the next model that breaks everything. So it is a bold bet. We will see. 🤷
