Tech stocks slide after report cuts OpenAI revenue estimate by $20B

edition.cnn.com — October 8, 2026 at 09:01 PM UTC

Tech stocks fell Thursday after a report indicated OpenAI's annualized revenue is roughly $20 billion lower than previously stated, triggering a broad market selloff. The Financial Times reported OpenAI told investors its annualized revenue is nearing $50 billion, below the $70 billion figure earlier cited by media. The discrepancy raised concerns about AI demand and profitability, with the Nasdaq dropping 1.25% and the S&P 500 falling 0.5%. Chipmakers and cloud providers were hit hardest, including Nvidia, Intel, and Oracle. Analysts noted the market's recent gains have relied heavily on AI stocks, making them vulnerable to such news. OpenAI declined to comment, and CEO Sam Altman recently postponed the company's IPO.
