If you have any doubts, I highly recommend to review the stock price history of GPRO(GoPro), BYND (Beyond Meat), CGC (Canopy Growth), TLRY (Tilray).

These are just some somewhat recent IPOs that come to mind, I am sure I am forgetting some.

In the case of GPRO, look up their first quarterly reports after the IPO. Pure comedy gold.

This comparison is nuts and invalid. Each of Anthropic/OpenAI/SpaceX has more revenue than the mentioned companies combined at IPO time.

Doomers gonna doom

And scammers gonna scam.
Is revenue the only metric we care about for this? Seems like stability and p-e ratio should at least be a factor? Which you can’t get until the ipo has actually settled.
If only hackernews had /remindme like on reddit
Open AI has never made a cent of profit.
Some people here truly need a bunch of lessons in economics and capital markets. This is not about making a profit at this point in time. Each of these companies could turn profitable im a heartbeat if they wanted to. Which would be exactly the moment in which they lost the race and become irrelevant.
Don't be one of those cluless techbros
