OpenAI's annual revenue may be approaching $50 billion, and the market reaction has been dramatic.
According to Benzinga, OpenAI's annualized revenue may be close to $50 billion, rather than the roughly $70 billion previously circulated among investors. Market observer Jim Cramer noted that the gap may stem from accounting differences, as OpenAI and Anthropic report revenue in different ways, and direct comparisons may mislead investors. Daniel Newman, CEO of Futurum Group, said the confusion stems from investors misunderstanding gross revenue and net revenue. At the heart of the debate is the difference between revenue that OpenAI records directly and revenue calculated through cloud and distribution partners. Shay Boloor pointed out that OpenAI's agreement with Microsoft includes ongoing revenue-sharing obligations, and headline revenue does not equal the revenue OpenAI retains. Nevertheless, the report still shook the market. Bull Theory said that about $500 billion in U.S. market value was wiped out on Thursday, as investors reassessed AI spending expectations and the sustainability of the current buildout.
Federal Reserve survey: Nearly one in five U.S. households have delinquent loans.
According to news from Bijie, the Federal Reserve's latest Survey of Consumer Finances shows that nearly one in five U.S. households has fallen behind on loan payments, with debt repayment pressure rising to its highest level since 2013. The survey shows that the median U.S. household debt-to-income ratio has risen to 15.4%, up 2 percentage points from 2022. The Federal Reserve noted that this may be related to the rise in mortgage and consumer loan interest rates during the same period. At the same time, the share of households with heavier debt repayment burdens rose from 6.5% in 2022 to 8.6% in 2025. The report shows that from 2022 to 2025, the proportion of households with overdue loans rose sharply from about 12% to nearly 20%. These data indicate that as borrowing costs rise, U.S. households not only need to devote more income to debt repayment, but the phenomenon of loan delinquency has also increased significantly, reflecting that the financial condition of some households is deteriorating.
JPMorgan: SpaceX steps up wireless communications business, targeting expansion from phones to autonomous driving and robotics.
JPMorgan: SpaceX is doubling down on its wireless communications business, aiming to expand from mobile phones to autonomous driving and robotics. JPMorgan analysts said in a report that SpaceX plans to acquire a nationwide wireless spectrum portfolio in the United States from Grain Management, further expanding its footprint in the mobile communications sector. The analysts noted that the low-band spectrum it plans to acquire has stronger indoor signal penetration capabilities, enabling broader network coverage, and complements the mid-band spectrum SpaceX is acquiring from EchoStar. The latter can provide higher bandwidth capacity, thereby enhancing the credibility of Starlink Mobile's long-term development prospects. JPMorgan believes this deal further confirms that SpaceX's mobile communications ambitions are not limited to mobile phones, but will extend to areas such as the Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous vehicles, and robotics, ultimately realizing the "Internet of Everything."
