OpenAI is leaning toward delaying its initial public offering until 2027, shifting away from an original target of a late-2026 debut.
The move reflects the company’s assessment that current market conditions do not yet offer the optimal window for such a high-profile listing.
According to a report by the German business daily Handelsblatt, cited by Wiwo, sources indicate the ChatGPT developer is reconsidering its timeline.
The decision underscores the persistent volatility in the technology sector, which has complicated valuation expectations for major AI firms.
By pushing the debut to next year, OpenAI aims to align its public listing with a more stable market environment.
This development adds to growing uncertainty around the timing of major tech IPOs.
