⚡️OpenAI may postpone its IPO to 2027


After SPCX saw a decline following the explosive IPO, it has now fallen to ~$153—down 32% from the peak in just 2 weeks.
Sam Altman announced a minimum valuation target of $1,000B for the IPO, saying “any lower level is unacceptable.”
Sam’s advisor presented 2 options: wait until 2027 to IPO at $1,000B, or cut the valuation to IPO immediately in 2026.
Softbank is -12.5% after the news, the sharpest drop since 08/2024 — $38B market cap evaporated during the session. Softbank’s investment in OpenAI will reach ~$65B by October this year.
The market is concerned about Softbank’s bridge loan $40B due in 03/2027. If the IPO is delayed, Softbank could run into trouble.
Attempts to borrow at least $6B in a margin loan secured by OpenAI shares have been halted because the lender finds it difficult to accurately value shares in an unlisted company.
