OpenAI (OPEN) Aims for $1 Trillion Valuation Amid Losses

OpenAI (OPEN) reported a net loss of $38.5 billion in 2025 on revenues of $13 billion and projections suggest it won't achieve profitability until 2029. Sam Altman has stated that any valuation below $1 trillion is a 'nonstarter,' despite other market challenges such as SpaceX's recent post-IPO decline of about 32%. OECD data highlights that 14% of US college students are testing at or below a 10-year-old's reading level, which is nearly double the international average. This situation raises concerns about OpenAI's ambitious valuation in a potentially slowing market, affecting prospects for investors considering AI-related stocks.
