OpenAI's CFO, Sarah Friar, announced that the company isn't planning an IPO anytime soon, emphasizing that it's focused on growth and research over immediate profitability. Speaking at The Wall Street Journal’s Tech Live conference, she made it clear that discussions about going public are not currently a priority. While there have been speculations about a potential IPO as early as 2027, Friar dismissed these as premature, stating, “IPO is not on the cards right now.” Friar also highlighted the company’s interest in federal support for financing data-center investments. This backing could help OpenAI scale its operations effectively. The firm is still navigating its new organizational structure, which was designed to foster long-term growth rather than short-term financial returns. Overall, OpenAI appears committed to solidifying its position in the AI market before considering a public offering.
