OpenAI’s shift to a 2027 IPO timeline, confirmed by CEO Sam Altman on September 12 citing AI safety priorities, represents the dominant factor shaping market-implied odds for its eventual closing market capitalization. The company’s confidential S-1 filing in June and missed September 2026 window have deferred pricing, with the last private round closing at an $852 billion valuation in March after raising $122 billion. Recent model releases, including GPT-5.6 and Astra, have lifted monthly revenue toward a $24 billion annualized run rate, though projected 2026 operating losses near $14 billion underscore the capital intensity of data-center expansion. Discussions of a potential $1.2 trillion private round before listing and the broader AI sector’s response to regulatory scrutiny and comparable debuts like Anthropic’s will influence the equity valuation multiple and first-day trading dynamics once the offering occurs.

If no IPO occurs by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”.
Market capitalization is defined as the total number of outstanding shares multiplied by the closing share price on the first trading day.
Resolution will be based on the primary exchange’s official listing page. In the event that the relevant figure is not displayed, another reliable source will be used.
In the event of an interruption in the course of the normal trading session on OpenAI's first day of trading (e.g., a circuit breaker or half-day), the market will resolve according to the official closing price of the abbreviated session. If no such official closing price is published, the market will resolve according to the next trading day on which an official closing price is published, treating that as the first day of trading.
