According to internal documents presented by OpenAI, the leading AI company expects to generate a cumulative negative free cash flow of $278 billion between 2026 and 2030, with total revenue projected at approximately $840 billion during the same period. Specifically, the company estimates full-year revenue of approximately $36 billion in 2026, which is projected to surge to $350 billion by 2030. However, the scale of investment in computing power-related infrastructure and other areas during this period will far exceed the revenue growth rate. OpenAI is currently in preliminary discussions with investors for a new round of private equity financing, targeting a valuation of approximately $1.2 trillion, a significant increase of about 41% compared to the post-money valuation of $852 billion when it completed its financing round in March of this year. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that this financing contact was initiated by the investors, and whether it will be formally pursued, and the specific timeline, will depend on OpenAI's IPO plans.
