Recent Wall Street Journal reporting reveals OpenAI missed key internal revenue and user growth targets amid intensifying competition from Anthropic and Google, fueling trader skepticism around a 2026 initial public offering. CFO Sarah Friar has reportedly clashed with CEO Sam Altman over the aggressive Q4 timeline, citing $600 billion-plus commitments for AI compute infrastructure like data centers and custom chips, which strain finances despite $25 billion annualized revenue. Polymarket traders now price a 76% chance of no IPO this year, reflecting caution on restructuring hurdles and ongoing Elon Musk litigation. Watch for S-1 filing signals or funding rounds in H2 2026 that could shift consensus.
