OpenAI Just Filed for an IPO
While it hasn’t decided on timing just yet, OpenAI has confidentially filed for an IPO, setting it up for what may be the most highly anticipated market debut in recent history. The decision comes just after OpenAI’s chief rival Anthropic announced plans to go public and ahead of SpaceX’s planned Friday debut.
As noted by CNN, “OpenAI was last valued at $852 billion after raising $122 billion in March, but it’s faced pressure to demonstrate it can generate the cash to match that valuation.”
While there are no dates for when the IPO could happen, investors can still get a jump on potentially profiting from it, using exchange-traded funds (ETFs) such as:

Even with its share of high-profile IPO disappointments, FPX has delivered strong long-term gains, climbing from around $11 in 2009 to recent highs near $190. Whether individual IPOs succeed or fail, the overall excitement and capital inflows into the IPO market tend to support the ETF over time.
There’s also the Renaissance IPO ETF
With an expense ratio of 0.6%, the Renaissance IPO ETF (NYSEARCA: IPO) provides “investors with the largest, most liquid US-listed newly public company stocks in one security, reducing the risk of single-stock ownership while avoiding overlap with major core indices for optimal diversification across markets and time,” as noted by Renaissance Capital.
Market Movers: JPMorgan Reiterates Nvidia as Overweight
Analysts at JPMorgan just reiterated an overweight rating on Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA | NVDA Price Prediction). The firm noted that it’s bullish on the partnership between NVDA and SK Hynix. “We believe the multi-year partnership implies extended demand visibility and highlights that this also acts in favor of other existing memory makers, given the likely limited supply,” as quoted by CNBC.
Analysts at Morgan Stanley reiterated its overweight rating on Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), with a $360 price target. As noted by the firm, “WWDC 2026 illustrated clear progress on Apple’s AI roadmap and suggested earlier monetization oppt’y than we expected, but also showed Apple Intelligence improvements will be a marathon, not a sprint. With less backwards compatibility + clearer use cases, we see WWDC as a net positive.”
