AI stocks dropped sharply on October 8 after reports revealed OpenAI's annualized revenue had reached about $50 billion by the end of September. That figure came in well below a widely cited $68 billion number that had been circulating in earlier coverage. The discrepancy traced back to how revenue was measured — the higher figure included gross revenue from partners, while the lower one reflected a more straightforward calculation. Nvidia, AMD, and Oracle all saw their shares decline alongside the broader market, with the Nasdaq falling 1.25% and the S&P 500 down 0.5%.
