OpenAI Reports Majority Revenue from Enterprise Customers and Targets 2027 IPO

On November 4, 2026, OpenAI president Greg Brockman said at a tech conference that the company now generates the majority of its revenue from enterprise customers, describing the shift as a move toward an enterprise-led revenue mix. He was asked whether the company would be ready for an initial public offering next year, and he replied, "I think so." He added that OpenAI expects to be in a position to go public in 2027.

Reporting around the remarks said OpenAI is accelerating its enterprise business expansion, competing with rival Anthropic for enterprise customers, and actively promoting the Codex agent product. The same coverage noted that Anthropic has indicated it may go public before the end of this year, and that OpenAI had previously delayed its own listing plans while now moving faster on financing to capture opportunities tied to recent business growth. Those were the points available in the reports, with no further step taken on the listing timeline since Brockman's comments.
