Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are handling OpenAI’s IPO filing documents, which may be submitted as early as Friday

Odaily OpenAI has been working with investment banks to prepare for the submission of an initial public offering (IPO) application in the coming days or weeks. Investment banks including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are assisting OpenAI in drafting its IPO prospectus. The company plans to confidentially file documents with regulators soon, potentially as early as this Friday. According to some informed sources, OpenAI aims to launch its listing as early as September, though the plans remain subject to change and may still shift.

Earlier this week, OpenAI cleared a major hurdle on its path to an IPO: The company prevailed in a legal dispute with Musk, a co-founder who has since become a rival of CEO Altman. Musk stated that he plans to appeal the ruling. OpenAI still faces a series of other challenges, most notably concerns about whether it can generate sufficient revenue to support its massive data center spending commitments. (WSJ)
