Shares of U.S. investment banks Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley declined on June 26 (local time) amid rumors of a delay in the initial public offering (IPO) of artificial intelligence (AI) company OpenAI. News that OpenAI is considering postponing its IPO, which had been eyed for this fall, to 2027 caused the banks' stock prices to fall.
