Key Points
-
OpenAI’s growth is reportedly slowing, leading to a decline in AI chip stocks.
-
The company’s internal revenue and user growth goals have not been met, raising concerns about its future.
-
As of now, OpenAI aims for 1 billion users by the end of 2025 but has yet to reach that target.
On Tuesday, September 26, 2023, reports indicated that OpenAI missed internal goals for revenue and user growth, significantly impacting AI chip stocks like Nvidia, which fell 3%, and AMD and Oracle, each down 4%. OpenAI has 50 million subscribers and previously reached 900 million weekly active users, but concerns arise that it may not meet the ambitious target of 1 billion users by 2025, which could hinder its ability to finance AI chip contracts exceeding $1 trillion due to slowing growth.
The news has sparked fears of an AI bubble, influencing a drop in AI stocks despite other companies like Nvidia, AMD, and Oracle showing significant year-over-year revenue growth of 73%, 34%, and 22%, respectively. This suggests that while OpenAI’s user base growth may be redistributing among competitors—including Google and Microsoft—overall demand for AI is not diminishing.
