BenBajarin · x · 2026-10-09
TickerTrends tracked OpenAI's annualized revenue at $50.44B on Sept 28, well below the widely reported $70B. The Financial Times now reports OpenAI told investors it was approaching $50B in September — validating TickerTrends' tracking within 1% and suggesting the $70B headlines were significantly overstated. Ben Bajarin notes it's still early in the S curve.
