Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors no OpenAI IPO by December 31, 2026 (64% implied probability), driven by the company's robust private funding—recently valuing it at $157 billion in an October 2024 tender offer—eliminating near-term public market needs. High-cap outcomes like 750B–1T (8.8%) or above lag due to skepticism over trillion-dollar valuations at listing, tempered by profitability uncertainties, governance complexities from its nonprofit-to-for-profit shift, and FTC antitrust probes into Microsoft ties. Absent an S-1 filing or earnings trajectory clarity, lower-cap or no-IPO bets dominate amid AI sector volatility and historical delays in Big Tech debuts.
