The chief executive of the most valuable company in the world says the public listing of OpenAI is a lock for this year.
In an interview at the Morgan Stanley TMT Conference 2026, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says the previously reported $100 billion investment in OpenAI did not play out because the ChatGPT creator is going public by the end of the year.
“We’re going to invest $30 billion in OpenAI. I think the opportunity to invest $100 billion in OpenAI is probably not in the cards. And the reason for that is that they’re going to go public. And so I’m fairly sure that if we provide the capacity they need, which is the compute capacity they need, which we’re ramping up hard to go to, the revenues will more than follow. And they’re going to go public towards the end of the year. And so this might be the last time we’ll have the opportunity to invest in a consequential company like this.”
While talks about OpenAI’s intentions to go public are not new, Huang is the first high-profile industry insider to confirm the timeline.
As of March 2026, OpenAI has achieved a valuation between $730 billion and $840 billion following a $110 billion investment round that saw the participation of Amazon, Nvidia and SoftBank.
CNBC cites a person close to the matter who said that OpenAI could go public by Q4 of this year. The source noted that the exact timeline is still subject to change.
