Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors no OpenAI IPO by December 31, 2026, at 72% implied probability, driven by recent reports of internal tensions between CEO Sam Altman, pushing for a Q4 listing, and CFO Sarah Friar, who privately advocates delaying to 2027 amid $600 billion in compute commitments, slowing revenue growth, and missed user targets. OpenAI's blockbuster $122 billion funding round in early April closed at an $852 billion valuation, fueling speculation of a trillion-dollar debut but underscoring financial pressures from AI infrastructure scaling. Employees' recent secondary share sales, with dozens netting $30 million each, signal liquidity without public markets. Watch for S-1 filing signals or earnings previews as key catalysts before year-end resolution.
