Pushes Reportedly IPO To Next Year As SpaceX&#8217;s Rough Post-Listing Performance Comes In Focus &#8211; Spa"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"block core-block\">OpenAI is reportedly leaning toward delaying its initial public offering until next year after advisers urged the company to wait out the volatile market conditions.<\/p>\n<p>IPO Plans Shift<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">The ChatGPT maker had initially hired bankers and lawyers to prepare for a third or fourth-quarter listing while CEO Sam Altman pursued a $1 trillion valuation, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/06\/25\/technology\/openai-ipo-artificial-intelligence.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">report<\/a> by The New York Times on Thursday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Earlier this month, the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/markets\/ipos\/26\/06\/53075807\/openai-files-confidential-s-1-joins-spacex-anthropic-in-ipo-wave\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">kicked off the IPO process <\/a>by confidentially filing draft registration paperwork with the SEC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">The advisers had also presented OpenAI with the option of pursuing an earlier listing at a lower valuation, but Altman rejected lowering the company\u2019s $1 trillion target, the report added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">OpenAI did not immediately respond to Benzinga\u2019s request for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Heavy Spending Continues<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">OpenAI had reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/markets\/tech\/26\/06\/53240845\/openai-burned-billions-and-is-now-weighing-a-price-war-with-anthropic-amid-ipo-buzz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">spent about $3.7 billion<\/a> during the first quarter of 2026 against revenue of about $5.7 billion, after posting a monthly revenue of about $2 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">The company\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benzinga.com\/markets\/tech\/26\/06\/53240845\/openai-burned-billions-and-is-now-weighing-a-price-war-with-anthropic-amid-ipo-buzz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">net loss widened to about $39 billion<\/a> in 2025 from roughly $5 billion a year earlier, while its adjusted loss, excluding restructuring charges and other non-cash items, totaled about $8 billion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">OpenAI is also exploring additional revenue streams, including advertising within ChatGPT and e-commerce partnerships with Shopify and Stripe, although those initiatives remain in their early stages.<\/p>\n<p>Competition Intensifies<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">OpenAI said in March that ChatGPT had about 900 million weekly active users and more than 50 million subscribers, while Codex, its advanced AI agent, served over 2 million weekly users after growing fivefold over the prior three months, with usage increasing more than 70% month over month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Disclaimer:\u00a0This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and
