Microsoft-backed (MSFT) OpenAI's chief financial officer has expressed concerns over the viability of the company's initial public offering in 2026, The Information reported Sunday, citing a source familiar with the matter.

The source told the news outlet that OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar raised issues over the IPO's procedural and organizational aspects and risks from the company's spending commitments. The Information said Friar's views differed with OpenAI Chief Executive Sam Altman's IPO targets.

According to the news outlet, Altman aims for an IPO as soon as Q4 but also committed the company to spend $600 billion in the next five years.

OpenAI did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
