Tech stocks drop after report that OpenAI’s revenue is lower than expected

The revised figure came in about $20 billion below earlier reports, and OpenAI also cited 77% total run-rate growth in the third quarter.

  • On Thursday, shares of Nvidia, Oracle, and CoreWeave sank after The Financial Times reported OpenAI's annualized revenue is approaching $50 billion, significantly lower than the $68 billion figure previously circulated.
  • Previous revenue estimates of $70 billion stemmed from investor attempts to produce direct comparisons with rival Anthropic's annualized earnings, according to The Financial Times report.
  • OpenAI touted 77% total run rate growth and 107% enterprise growth during the third quarter, though earlier 2025 financials showed the company earned about $13 billion.
  • Executives signaled the company's anticipated IPO has been pushed off until early 2027, as OpenAI faces mounting pressure to justify its $852 billion valuation to investors.
  • Following a historic $122 billion funding round in March, CFO Sarah Friar stated last week the company remains "very well capitalized" amid early-stage discussions about potential new funding.
