OpenAI Weighs IPO Delay to 2027 at $1 Trillion Valuation — SoftBank Plunges 13%, KOSPI Triggers Circuit Breaker as Nasdaq 100 Futures Slide 0.9%

The New York Times reported that OpenAI is considering delaying its initial public offering until 2027, targeting a $1 trillion valuation rather than accepting a lower figure in choppy markets. The news sent SoftBank Group plunging 13%, wiping out 5.6 trillion yen in market value, and triggered an 8% collapse in South Korea's KOSPI that activated a circuit breaker. Nasdaq 100 futures fell 0.9% as investors broadly reassessed AI-sector valuations heading into a pivotal quarter-end Friday.
