OpenAI is preparing for a potential initial public offering that could value the company at up to $1 trillion, according to people familiar with the matter — setting the stage for what could become one of the largest listings in history.
The San Francisco-based artificial intelligence firm is said to be targeting a regulatory filing in the second half of 2026, with an eventual market debut in 2027, the sources said.
Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar has reportedly discussed the 2027 timetable with associates.
In preliminary talks, OpenAI has explored plans to raise at least $60 billion, possibly more depending on market conditions and the company’s growth trajectory. While the details remain fluid, the move would provide CEO Sam Altman access to a far larger pool of capital to fund his long-term vision for expanding advanced AI systems and infrastructure. If realised, the deal would mark a milestone for the fast-growing AI sector and cement OpenAI’s position among the world’s most valuable technology companies.
