OpenAI is eyeing an IPO (initial public offering) that could value the ChatGPT developer at up to $1 trillion (€866 billion), underscoring surging investor interest in artificial intelligence stocks. CEO Sam Altman says the company is generating roughly $2 billion in monthly revenue, with growth outpacing tech giants like Alphabet and Meta.

Despite rapid expansion, heavy spending on AI infrastructure, data centers, and model training is expected to drive losses of around $14 billion this year, with profitability still years away. Meanwhile, rivals including Anthropic and Elon Musk's SpaceX, which merged with the artificial intelligence company xAI, are also preparing for market debuts, signaling a new wave of high-stakes AI listings.
