[HSBC Predicts OpenAI Unlikely to Achieve Profitability Before 2030]
An analysis report by HSBC states that OpenAI is unlikely to achieve profitability before 2030 and will require an additional $207 billion in funding to support its computing power expansion. The report estimates that OpenAI's annual revenue could reach $213 billion by 2030, but its infrastructure investment needs far exceed its cash generation capacity. HSBC projects that OpenAI's computing power construction expenses could reach $1.4 trillion by 2033, with cloud services and AI infrastructure costs between 2023 and 2030 estimated at approximately $792 billion, including around $620 billion in data center leasing fees. HSBC highlights that OpenAI faces challenges such as soaring infrastructure costs, intensified competition, and high capital intensity.
