OpenAI's Sam Altman sees AI bubble forming as industry spending surges
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks the artificial intelligence market is in a bubble, according to a report from The Verge published Friday. 'When bubbles happen, smart people get overexcited about a kernel of truth,' Altman told a small group of reporters last week. 'Are we in a phase where investors as a whole are overexcited about AI? My opinion is yes. Is AI the most important thing to happen in a very long time? My opinion is also yes,' he was quoted as saying. Altman appeared to compare this dynamic to the infamous dot-com bubble, a stock market crash centered on internet-based companies that led to massive investor enthusiasm during the late 1990s. Between March 2000 and October 2002, the Nasdaq lost nearly 80% of its value after many of these companies failed to generate revenue or profits. His comments add to growing concern among experts and analysts that investment in AI is moving too fast. Alibaba co-founder Joe Tsai, Bridgewater Associates' Ray Dalio and Apollo Global Management chief economist Torsten Slok have all raised similar warnings. Last month, Slok stated in a report that he believed the AI bubble of today was, in fact, bigger than the internet bubble, with the top 10 companies in the S&P 500 more overvalued than they were in the 1990s. In a Monday email to CNBC, Ray Wang, research director for semiconductors, supply chain and emerging technology at Futurum Group, said that he thought Altman's comments carry some validity, but that the risks are company-dependent. 'From the perspective of broader investment in AI and semiconductors... I don't see it as a bubble. The fundamentals across the supply chain remain strong, and the long-term trajectory of the AI trend supports continued investment,' he said. However, he added that there is an increasing amount of speculative capital chasing companies with weaker fundamentals and only perceived potential, which could create pockets of overvaluation. Many fears of an AI bubble had hit a fever pitch at the start of this year when Chinese start-up DeepSeek released a competitive reasoning model. The company claimed one version of its advanced large language models had been trained for under $6 million, a fraction of the billions being spent by U.S. AI market leaders like OpenAI, though these claims were also been met with some skepticism. Earlier this month, Altman told CNBC that OpenAI's annual recurring revenue is on track to pass $20 billion this year, but that despite that, it remains unprofitable. The release of OpenAI's latest GPT-5 AI model earlier this month had also been rocky, with some critics complaining that it had a less intuitive feel. This resulted in the company restoring access to legacy GPT-4 models for paying customers. Following the release of the model, Altman has also signaled more caution about some of the AI industry's more bullish predictions. Speaking to CNBC, he said that he thought the term artificial general intelligence, or 'AGI,' is losing relevance, when asked whether the GPT-5 model moves the world any closer to achieving AGI. AGI refers to the concept of a form of artificial intelligence that can perform any intellectual task that a human can — something that OpenAI has been working towards for years and that Altman previously said could be achieved in the 'reasonably close-ish future. ″ Regardless, faith in OpenAI from investors has remained strong this year. CNBC confirmed Friday that the company was preparing to sell around $6 billion in stock as part of a secondary sale that would value it at roughly $500 billion. In March, it had announced a $40 billion funding round at a $300 billion valuation, by far the largest amount ever raised by a private tech company. In The Verge article on Friday, the OpenAI CEO also discussed OpenAI's expansion into consumer hardware, brain-computer interfaces and social media. Altman also said that he expects OpenAI to spend trillions of dollars on its data center buildout in the 'not very distant future,' and signaled that the company would be interested in buying Chrome if the U.S. government were to force Google to sell it. Asked if he would be CEO of OpenAI in a few years, he was quoted as saying, 'I mean, maybe an AI is in three years. That's a long time.'

This has been one of the best earnings seasons on record, per Goldman Sachs
Second-quarter earnings season is coming to a close, and Goldman Sachs said that companies' performance this time is one of the best ever. Of the 92% S & P 500 companies that have reported, 60% have beaten consensus earnings per share forecasts by more than a standard deviation of analyst estimates, according to data from the firm. That signifies the "highest rate in our 25 years of data history outside of 2009 and the COVID reopening," it found. "With the 2Q 2025 earnings season nearly complete, the quarter has been marked by one of the greatest frequency of earnings beats on record," wrote David Kostin, Goldman's chief U.S. equity strategist, in a note dated Aug. 15. The bar for this reporting season was already set lower heading into it, the strategist said. Concerns around the impacts of President Donald Trump's tariffs – which were announced at the start of the quarter and later pushed back – dampened Wall Street's expectations. Kostin estimates that aggregate S & P 500 earnings per share rose 11% compared to last year, surpassing the 4% consensus expectation. "The outperformance largely resulted from the low bar set when analysts aggressively cut estimates this spring," he wrote. He also said that profit margins for the S & P 500 have been "more resilient to tariffs than investors feared." "While we expect companies will generally be able to mitigate tariff costs and maintain their profit margins, the magnitude of margin expansion embedded in consensus estimates appears unrealistic," he continued. "We expect the strong recent trajectory of analyst earnings revisions to weaken going forward, but no more than the average downward trend of the last few decades." This might be a double-edged sword, however, as this strong season has led to a ratcheting up of earnings per share forecasts for the future. Notably, 58% of companies hiked their 2025 guidance, double the share of firms that did so in the first quarter, Kostin said. Analysts did the same, upping their earnings estimates in most sectors for both this year's second half as well as for 2026. To be sure, Kostin said that analysts still foresee a deceleration in S & P 500 earnings per share growth in the months ahead, dropping to 7% in the second half from 11% in the second quarter.
