OpenAI Is Now Considering a 2027 IPO With a $1 Trillion Valuation. Should Investors Expect the Same Volatility as the SpaceX IPO?

OpenAI is considering delaying its IPO until 2027 to avoid the volatility seen in SpaceX's recent IPO debut. Both companies are spending heavily on AI infrastructure with significant operating losses and distant profitability timelines. Research shows large IPOs typically experience substantial volatility regardless of market conditions, with mega-cap IPOs averaging 26.5% returns in their first week but remaining volatile long-term.
