OpenAI is targeting a valuation of between $852 billion and $1 trillion for an initial public offering planned for September, following a confidential registration filing, according to reports.
The company is said to have submitted a confidential S-1 filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, a step that formally begins the process toward a public listing. Confidential filings allow companies to start the regulatory review without immediately disclosing detailed financials to the public.
A listing in the targeted range would rank among the largest technology offerings on record, reflecting the scale of investor interest in artificial intelligence. OpenAI is among the most prominent developers of generative AI systems, and its potential market debut has drawn significant attention.
The reported valuation underscores how AI has become a focal point for capital markets, with leading developers commanding figures that rival or exceed those of established technology giants. The size of the prospective offering signals confidence in the sector’s growth trajectory.
An eventual listing would subject the company to public-market scrutiny, including disclosure requirements on revenue, costs and risks. The September timeline, as reported, positions the offering as a closely watched event in the technology and investment calendar.
