OpenAI IPO timeline delayed, Kalshi predictions
OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence platform, may be delaying its initial public offering (IPO) until next year, according to a recent report by The New York Times. This shift in plans has sparked speculation among traders on prediction market platform Kalshi about when the company will officially announce its IPO.
Traders on Kalshi are predicting a 59% chance that OpenAI will announce its IPO by March 1, 2027. While there is only a one-in-three chance of an announcement before January 1, traders believe there is a 73% likelihood of an announcement by June 2027.
Kalshi will consider an IPO confirmed if the Securities and Exchange Commission declares OpenAI’s S-1 form effective, the IPO receives an official price, or the company is assigned a trading ticker. Previously, OpenAI was expected to go public in 2026, with CEO Sam Altman confidentially filing for an IPO on June 8.
The decision to potentially delay the IPO comes after SpaceX’s public market debut, which made OpenAI’s advisors more cautious. There are concerns that retail investors may have less interest in purchasing shares following SpaceX’s initial rally and subsequent decline.
Additionally, OpenAI’s chief rival, Anthropic, has confidentially filed for an IPO, with traders on Kalshi giving it a 70% chance of announcing a public market debut by December.
Overall, the landscape for OpenAI’s IPO is evolving, with traders closely monitoring developments and speculating on the timing of the company’s official announcement. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting development in the world of artificial intelligence and technology.
