Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors no OpenAI IPO by December 31, 2026 (68.5% implied probability), driven by a Wall Street Journal report last week revealing the AI lab missed 2026 revenue and user growth targets amid unsustainable compute spending projected at $121 billion by 2028. CFO Sarah Friar has internally challenged CEO Sam Altman's aggressive Q4 timeline, echoing concerns over operational readiness. The ongoing Elon Musk lawsuit—now in trial with Musk testifying this week—threatens to unwind OpenAI's for-profit conversion, potentially blocking public listing and eroding its $852 billion private valuation. While preparations continue, no S-1 filing has emerged, and historical AI product delays underscore execution risks ahead of year-end resolution.
