80%
Real price history (past month), from Polymarket. Down-sampled to 24 points.
What the market is pricing
The market is strongly favoured, around four-in-five for OpenAI not to IPO by the end of 2026. Odds rose slightly over the past day, suggesting modest recent shifts toward the view that an IPO within the next year remains unlikely. At this level, traders are pricing a low but non-negligible chance of a public listing in that window.
How this market resolves
This market resolves Yes if OpenAI has not completed an initial public offering by 11:59 PM ET on December 31, 2026, and resolves No if it has. The settlement date is January 1, 2027.

What could move it
- Any official announcement from OpenAI about IPO plans or timeline would be the clearest trigger for repricing.
- Market developments affecting private funding or valuation discussions could shift sentiment; limited time remains before the end-of-2026 deadline constrains how far odds can move on speculation alone.
