Major AI and semiconductor companies fell sharply after reports that OpenAI may postpone its planned initial public offering until 2027. The decline signals investor concern about the pace of AI infrastructure spending and led to broad selling across chip makers, memory companies, and networking equipment providers in both the U.S. and Asia.

Nvidia, AMD, Broadcom, Micron, and dozens of other semiconductor and AI-infrastructure companies traded sharply lower on Friday after reports suggested OpenAI may postpone its planned public offering until 2027. The selling spread across memory chips, networking, optical equipment, and chip manufacturing globally.
Why it matters
OpenAI's IPO timing is closely watched as a signal of investor confidence in AI spending. A delayed offering suggests caution about near-term AI infrastructure demand, prompting investors to reduce exposure to companies whose revenue depends on that spending wave.
What to watch
The selloff extended beyond the U.S. to Asian markets, indicating investors are taking a cautious stance toward AI-linked technology shares broadly. Micron, which had recently reported results above expectations, fell about 5% in premarket trading.
