OpenAI has reduced its valuation target from $1.4 trillion to $1.25 trillion following pushback from private investors, coinciding with a sharp drop in public AI stocks. This $150 billion cut reflects growing investor caution as OpenAI seeks up to $30 billion in a funding round led by UAE and Coatue investors ahead of a potential 2027 IPO. Microsoft, a major OpenAI backer, remains focused on its Azure cloud contract, which drives significant revenue despite OpenAI's valuation adjustments. The move highlights increasing scrutiny on AI company valuations as competition and market conditions evolve.

Notably, Pluang order activity leans more towards selling at 59%, indicating cautious sentiment among investors.
