Confidential registration lead
Reuters reported on May 20 that OpenAI was preparing to file confidentially and was targeting an IPO as early as September 2026. OpenAI then said on June 8 that it had recently submitted a confidential draft S-1 to the SEC. In that same disclosure, the company said it had not decided on timing and that a listing may still be a while away, so the September window remains reported press timing rather than company guidance.
