"Whether or not this is the year that some of the biggest AI IPOs hit the public markets, there's certainly a packed pipeline of private firms that could steadily go live at some point over the next two, maybe three, years. Undoubtedly, it's been more than three years since we were treated to the technological marvel that is OpenAI's ChatGPT. And at long last, everyday retail investors might finally have a chance to pick up a few shares."
"Of course, an AI bubble could derail such an unprecedented valuation. But if AI does live up to the hype, with new agentic technologies taking the world by storm (I view OpenAI's Codex as an impressive response to Claude Code), I certainly wouldn't be surprised if the AI IPO boom hits the ground running. Perhaps the slew of potential AI IPOs could lead to a frenzy that results in an AI bubble at some point down the line."
A large pipeline of private AI companies may pursue IPOs over the next two to three years, potentially offering retail investors new opportunities to buy shares. Entry prices could be very high depending on funding rounds and investor demand. OpenAI is positioned as the market leader with a valuation pinned near $830 billion and the potential for a $1 trillion IPO. Agentic AI technologies and tools like Codex are accelerating interest and adoption. A speculative AI bubble remains a plausible risk, and many legacy software-as-a-service firms could be disadvantaged if they fail to adopt AI.
