据彭博报道,OpenAI 已完成一笔面向员工的 70 亿美元股份回购交易,公司估值为 8520 亿美元,与其今年 3 月最新一轮融资时的估值一致。那轮融资为 OpenAI 新增了 122 亿美元资金。

回购为员工提供流动性

这笔交易引发市场对 OpenAI 上市节奏的再度关注。公司今年 6 月已向美国证券交易委员会秘密递交文件,为可能在今年晚些时候启动 IPO 做准备。不过,员工股份回购通常也意味着,公司短期内未必急于进入公开市场。

在美国科技行业,越来越多公司选择长期保持非上市状态。相比直接上市,私下进行员工股份回购能让员工兑现部分股权价值,同时避免公开发行带来的披露、定价和市场波动压力。

  • 回购规模:70 亿美元
  • 最新估值:8520 亿美元
  • 3 月融资新增资金:122 亿美元

IPO 时间仍存变数

OpenAI 尚未就此回应媒体置评请求。市场之所以关注其上市窗口,与公司近期经营表现和外部竞争环境有关。

上月,OpenAI 首席执行官 Sam Altman 曾表示,公司过去 12 个月的表现并非最好,但接下来的 12 个月有望成为迄今最强的一段时期。通常而言,企业在 IPO 前会希望先展示更稳健的财务表现,以吸引更多公开市场投资者。

《华尔街日报》今年 4 月曾报道称,OpenAI 未达到内部财务目标。这也让外界对其是否会按原节奏推进上市保持谨慎。

Anthropic 动向受关注

尽管 OpenAI 的增长速度和产品影响力足以吸引公开市场关注,但竞争对手 Anthropic 的动向也在影响市场预期。报道称,Anthropic 今年早些时候已实现盈利,这使 OpenAI 在潜在上市前更需要拿出更完整的经营表现。

报道认为,这笔员工股份回购也可能释放出一个信号:OpenAI 或希望先推动新战略见效,再考虑正式挂牌。该战略重点包括收缩部分投入,并进一步聚焦企业业务。
