Open AI shocks investors: Is the company making much less revenue than the stock exchange believed?

The projected annual revenue of Sam Altman's AI company, Open AI, is currently around $50 billion, not $70 billion as previously reported. This news caused the stock prices of many tech firms to fall, with the Nasdaq index dropping by 1.5%. Companies involved in building AI infrastructure, such as Micron, Oracle, Broadcom, and Nvidia, saw their stock prices decline by 2-5%.

Open AI aims to reach an annualised revenue of $70 billion by the end of the year. The discrepancy in revenue figures has raised questions about how the markets misjudged the company's performance by $20 billion.
