ChatGPT maker OpenAI planning one of the largest IPOs

OpenAI is laying the groundwork for an initial public offering that could value the ChatGPT maker at up to $1 trillion, making it one of the largest IPOs in history, according to Reuters.

The artificial intelligence company is considering filing with securities regulators as soon as the second half of 2026, with preliminary discussions exploring raising at least $60 billion, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar has indicated the company is targeting a 2027 listing, though some advisers predict it could happen as early as late 2026.
