OpenAI leans toward a 2027 IPO as Anthropic moves to list first

OpenAI is leaning toward pushing its initial public offering to 2027, a New York Times report dated June 25 said, citing people involved in the company’s internal discussions. That would mark a shift from the late-2026 timeline OpenAI has signaled since January. The report said CEO Sam Altman has rejected any valuation below $1 trillion, while CFO Sarah Friar has argued internally for delaying until 2027.
