OpenAI Lowers Valuation by $150bn Amid Waning AI Enthusiasm
Yahoo Finance ·
OpenAI has reduced its corporate valuation by $150bn to $1.25tn after initial discussions targeting $1.4tn faced pushback from investors. The adjustment reflects mounting skepticism surrounding the artificial intelligence boom, which was intensified after Meta flagged massive spending requirements and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang warned that capital scarcity is impeding deployment. The tech sector suffered heavy losses, with over $1tn erased from US technology shares. Despite the markdown, the ChatGPT developer plans to raise $30bn ahead of its anticipated public listing in 2027, maintaining a 47pc increase from its $852bn valuation recorded in March. Meanwhile, rival Anthropic is also seeing moderated valuation expectations of around $1.5tn for its upcoming market debut, down from prior estimates of $2tn, as financial reports indicated substantial losses during the first half of the year.

OpenAI has cut its valuation by $150 billion, from its previous target of $1.4 trillion to $1.25 trillion, amid spreading investor skepticism and capital shortage concerns. Combined with Meta's massive capital expenditure plans and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's warnings about capital scarcity, over $1 trillion was wiped out from US tech stocks, sending shockwaves across the broader market. This valuation downgrade heightened market anxiety over AI infrastructure maintenance costs, leading to a decline in Asian stock markets.

DYAX 전담 분석
OpenAI's $150 billion valuation cut and Meta's warning of massive capital expenditures are rapidly cooling investment sentiment across the AI sector, triggering drops in related share prices. Major big tech stocks such as NVIDIA (-4.40%) and Meta (-6.98%) plunged, reflecting doubts about the sustainability of AI infrastructure investments.
Whether the AI boom continues will depend on improvements in profitability and macroeconomic indicators such as interest rates and oil prices. If the cost of capital raising increases and investors' risk-averse tendencies deepen, AI-related stocks face a high risk of further corrections.
