OpenAI Projections Imply Losses Tripling to $14 Billion in 2026

OpenAI’s newest investors have signed up for a bumpy and expensive ride. The company’s projections suggest it won’t turn a profit until 2029, when its revenue would hit $100 billion.

Before it gets to that point, losses could rise as high as $14 billion in 2026, nearly triple this year’s expected loss, according to an analysis of data contained in OpenAI financial documents viewed by The Information. This estimate doesn’t include stock compensation, which is one of OpenAI’s biggest expenses, although not one it pays in cash.
