OpenAI generated about $5.7 billion in revenue in Q1 2026, according to reporting on the company's quarterly numbers. The quarter was driven by its coding agent Codex, growing enterprise sales and early experiments with advertising inside ChatGPT. Estimates put OpenAI's run-rate at about $24 billion in April 2026, roughly $1 billion ahead of Anthropic over the same period. The company has guided to a $30 billion full-year revenue target. Microsoft $MSFT is now expected to receive about $6 billion of that as revenue share, up from an earlier estimate of $4 billion, under the recently restructured partnership. For full-year 2025, OpenAI generated $13.1 billion in revenue against an estimated $22 billion in spending, a net loss of around $9 billion, according to financial reporting tied to its confidential IPO filing.
