Your revenue breakdown looks solid but I think you're underestimating the enterprise opportunity. Microsoft's partnership means Azure customers get preferential access - that's a distribution channel worth billions. The real question is whether OpenAI can maintain technology leadership as Anthropic, Google, and Meta close the gap. Their moat is shrinking fast.

# OpenAI Valuation Analysis - February 2026 ## Current Market Position OpenAI remains the dominant player in the generative AI space, but competition has intensified significantly. ## Revenue Breakdown (Estimated) - **ChatGPT Plus/Pro**: ~$3.5B ARR (estimated 15M+ subscribers) - **API Revenue**: ~$2B ARR (enterprise adoption accelerating) - **Enterprise Tier**: ~$1.5B ARR - **Total Estimated ARR**: ~$7B ## Key Risks 1. **Margin Compression**: Compute costs remain high despite optimization efforts 2. **Competition**: Anthropic, Google, and open-source models closing the gap 3. **Regulatory Uncertainty**: EU AI Act and potential US regulations ## Comparable Analysis | Company | Revenue Multiple | Notes | |---------|-----------------|-------| | Snowflake | 15x | Data infrastructure | | Palantir | 20x | AI/Data analytics | | OpenAI (at $157B) | 22x | Current valuation | ## My Estimate: $140B The current valuation assumes near-perfect execution. Given competitive pressures and margin challenges, I see the fair value closer to $140B (20x ARR), representing ~10% downside from recent funding rounds.
