"OpenAI called the report 'prime clickbait' and stated it is 'firing on all cylinders.' However, the market's reaction indicated a lack of confidence in these claims, as investors wiped tens of billions off companies dependent on OpenAI's growth."
"OpenAI missed an internal goal of reaching one billion weekly active ChatGPT users by the end of 2025, achieving only 900 million by February 2026, which, while representing 125 percent year-over-year growth, fell short of expectations."
"The market did not respond to OpenAI's reassurances; it focused on whether the substantial financial commitments made to OpenAI could be justified in light of its slowing growth and increasing competition."
OpenAI failed to meet its internal target of one billion weekly ChatGPT users by the end of 2025, achieving only 900 million by February 2026. Despite this, the company reported a 125 percent year-over-year growth, which is impressive by typical standards. However, the market reacted negatively, leading to substantial losses for companies like Oracle, CoreWeave, and SoftBank, which have significant financial commitments to OpenAI. Concerns have arisen regarding OpenAI's ability to justify its $600 billion in compute commitments amid increasing competition and slowing growth.
