OpenAI Revenue Revised Down to $50B as Investors Correct Calculation Errors

OpenAI's annualized revenue is now estimated at $50 billion, a $20 billion drop from the $70 billion figure previously cited by investors. This correction stems from a miscalculation where investors incorrectly added a 70% growth figure to an existing $40 billion baseline. The revised figure places OpenAI behind rival Anthropic, which reports $65 billion in annualized sales. Both companies are preparing for initial public offerings in 2026 and 2027, respectively, as they compete for enterprise customers with new AI agent products.

Memory giant Sandisk preps for S&P 100 inclusion amid earnings surge

Sandisk Corporation (SNDK) earned promotion to the S&P 100 ahead of market open, after a Friday rally that sent shares up about 11.9% to 1,740, boosting its market value to roughly $273 billion.

GuruFocus notes a GF Score of 51/100, signaling growth and strength offset by weaker value and momentum, implying valuation risk if NAND supply catches up.

ChatGPT Ads Hit $1B Annualized Run Rate in 200 Days

OpenAI announced that ChatGPT Ads reached a $1 billion annualized revenue run rate in under 200 days, with tens of thousands of advertisers and plans to expand to more markets and formats. The company emphasizes the ads are clearly labeled and do not influence ChatGPT’s answers, while advertisers report performance gains from its Max Results bidding. Analysts caution the timeframe may make it difficult to meet their $2.5B ad-revenue target for 2026, and attribution remains a key question as OpenAI grows its ecosystem of measurement partners.

SpaceX’s 2030 Outlook: A $5,000 Bet Could End Around $3.6K, Not a Big Win

SpaceX’s 2030 Outlook: A $5,000 Bet Could End Around $3.6K, Not a Big Win

The Motley Fool assesses SpaceX’s aggressive AI push (via xAI) and Starlink as growth drivers, estimating that even with strong revenue potential—aiming for up to $100B annual revenue soon and perhaps $1T by 2030—a flat market multiple and profitability would limit upside. Using a $5,000 investment today, the piece projects a value around $3,571 by 2030 (about $100 per share if priced there), suggesting the stock may not justify its huge current valuation given capex and competition from players like Alphabet and AST SpaceMobile. In short, SpaceX’s growth prospects are large, but a trillion-dollar revenue scenario seems unlikely to translate into a 2x or better return for investors by 2030.
