OpenAI has not yet begun pre-IPO meetings with potential investors or finalized a timeline for its public listing, according to sources familiar with the matter. The discussions, which typically gauge investor demand and potential pricing, are expected to begin only after the company has greater clarity on its listing schedule.

The company recently confirmed that it had confidentially filed its prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, but cautioned on X that an IPO "may be a while" away.

According to a report by The New York Times, OpenAI is currently leaning toward a 2027 public offering, although the company has not officially confirmed that timeline.

The report comes as investor interest in artificial intelligence remains strong following recent high-profile market activity.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously told CNBC that the company would pursue an IPO only when it best supports its long-term technology and business goals, rather than according to a fixed timetable.
