OpenAI revenue report jolts AI stocks and broad market
On October 8, 2026, a report said OpenAI's annualized revenue was $50B, below earlier estimates, prompting declines across AI-linked equities. The report also described 77% total run rate growth and 107% enterprise growth, while OpenAI did not comment. Oracle fell 6%, Microsoft 0.5%, and Nvidia 2%, while the Nasdaq lost 1.3%.
Why it matters
