OpenAI is considering postponing its initial public offering until 2027, citing persistent volatility in the technology sector as a key factor in the potential delay.
The report, first surfaced by the New York Times and picked up by regional outlets, suggests the artificial intelligence leader is recalibrating its timeline for a Wall Street debut.
The company has already filed confidentially for an IPO with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, signaling that preparations for a public listing are underway.
However, the decision to potentially push the debut into the next year reflects a cautious approach to current market conditions, where tech stocks have faced significant repricing and investor sentiment remains fragile.
This development follows earlier indications from Handelsblatt that OpenAI was leaning toward a 2027 timeline.
The AI developer has been racing to commercialize its technology, recently presenting its ChatGPT advertising platform to marketers at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
