Odaily reports that as OpenAI prepares for its IPO, its unique financial structure may be subject to further scrutiny by investors and the market. Based on publicly disclosed financial data, OpenAI exhibits the characteristics of a low-debt software company. As of March 31, 2026, the company’s balance sheet shows zero debt and lease liabilities of less than $750 million. Meanwhile, despite OpenAI being one of the most hardware-dependent technology companies today, its cash flow statement reveals that capital expenditures for the quarter were only around $46 million. This “asset-light” financial performance contrasts with OpenAI's actual business model. Analysts believe that if OpenAI continues to pursue an IPO, investors may focus on evaluating the asset structure behind its financial statements, as well as how the company maintains capital efficiency while rapidly expanding AI infrastructure.
