Summary
OpenAI is reportedly in talks to raise a roughly $30 billion round at a valuation of about $1.4 trillion. The round is expected to be the company's last private raise before its delayed 2027 public debut.
Bubble analysis
This is core evidence for the bubble case: a still-private company whose revenue is far below its committed capex is being valued at $1.4 trillion, with a single round of $30 billion. Money keeps pouring into the leading AI firms, meaning prices rest on assumptions of very fast future revenue growth — if that growth disappoints, valuations could fall sharply.
