OpenAI's annualized revenue $20 billion less than previously signaled, FT reports - Reuters

OpenAI has revised its revenue outlook for the current year, indicating that it expects to generate $50 billion in annualized revenue. This figure is $20 billion lower than the amount previously signaled to investors and the market.

Earlier reports had suggested that the artificial‑intelligence laboratory was on track to achieve roughly $70 billion in annualized revenue. The new projection reflects a substantial adjustment to that earlier estimate.

The revised forecast was disclosed in a recent financial briefing, where OpenAI’s leadership outlined the updated expectations. The company attributed the change to a reassessment of market conditions and the pace of adoption of its products and services.

Analysts note that while the revised figure remains sizable, it represents a notable shortfall relative to the prior guidance that had been circulated among investors. The adjustment may influence expectations for OpenAI’s growth trajectory in the coming months.

OpenAI’s updated revenue target underscores the dynamic nature of the fast‑evolving AI sector, where companies regularly refine forecasts in response to shifting demand and competitive pressures.
