OpenAI’s top sales executive says the company is seeing strong momentum for its enterprise business, days after a report raised concerns that it had missed some internal revenue and user targets. But first… Three things to know: • Anthropic weighs funding offers at over $900 billion valuation • Musk testifies he’s suing OpenAI to stop Altman’s “looting” • Alphabet, Amazon outpace Meta in AI during earnings bonanza Strong momentum More than three years after kicking off the current AI boom, OpenAI faces a growing number of threats to its leadership position in the market, including resurgent competition from Anthropic and Google, and a high-profile legal battle with billionaire antagonist Elon Musk. To add to the mix, the Wall Street Journal spooked public investors this week with a report that OpenAI had fallen short of internal targets for revenue and user growth. OpenAI has since pushed back at the newspaper’s reporting. “I can tell you right now: The momentum that we are seeing in the enterprise business is really incredible and only accelerating,” Denise Dresser, OpenAI’s chief revenue officer, said in an interview Thursday when asked about the story. She declined to comment on specific revenue targets. Following OpenAI’s recent introduction of GPT-5.5 , the company has seen revenue from businesses and developers tapping its application programming interface grow twice as fast as with any prior model release. OpenAI is also seeing broadening adoption of its AI coding tools, with the share of non-developer users of Codex increasing by 40% in the past month, Dresser said. Dresser, who was previously chief executive officer of Slack, is tasked with overseeing the company’s push to sign up more business customers. For most of its post-ChatGPT era, OpenAI has been overwhelmingly a consumer business, supported by the hundreds of millions of people turning to the chatbot each week. Now, it’s aiming for revenue to be evenly split between consumers and enterprises by the...

Luis Alvarez/DigitalVision via Getty Images On May 8, 2026, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics will publish the non-farm payroll employment for April 2026. Although skepticism remains high on the BLS data, ever since the White House fired the head , income investors should not ignore the agency. The Federal Reserve held the federal funds rate at 3.5 percent to 3.75 percent. In the statement, the FOMC wrote that job gains remained low on average . The unemployment rate has been little changed in recent months. In March, it changed little at 4.3% . Readers should expect job gains to continue in April for health care, transportation and warehousing, and construction. BLS Jobs increased by 178,000 in March. In January, the BLS revised NFP employment up by 34,000 to +160,000. For February, it revised the -92,000 figure down to -133,000. With those trends in mind, what will the rest of the job situation look like for April? New Round Of Technology Layoffs The April Job report might show hints of the K-shaped economy. In the week ending on May 1, Microsoft ( MSFT ) and Meta Platforms ( META ) posted quarterly results. Meta said it would cut one in 10 jobs, or 8,000 staff . It would also freeze 6,000 open positions. Microsoft planned for 8,750 voluntary buyouts. In March, Oracle ( ORCL ) announced it would cut thousands of jobs , or a fraction of the 162,000 employed (as of May 2025). The number of staff cuts will look like a rounding error on the job report. However, if the BLS weighed job cuts by salary, relative employment by salary would show an alarming downtrend. Economists would need to measure the impact, after deducting generous severance packages, by other means. Investors might track consumer goods stocks. The peers list for Clorox ( CLX ) might give readers the stocks to avoid . At the time of writing. CLX stock lost 9%. For the week, shares of P&G ( PG ), Church & Dwight ( CHD ), and Kimberly-Clark ( KMB ) traded lower. WD-40 ( WDFC ) fell by more, losing 7.8%...
