Cerebras sees blockbuster demand, setting stage for US AI IPO frenzy
The chipmaker’s IPO priced at $185, well above its initial range, and opened trading at an eye-popping $350.
Cerebras Systems CBRS, a maker of AI-focused semiconductor chips, rocketed onto Nasdaq Thursday with an opening trade at $350 a share. It closed the day at $311.07, giving it a 68% pop over an IPO price that had already been raised multiple times.
Retail investors’ enthusiasm for Cerebras stock underscores an appetite to embrace AI, even with some significant caveats as the market and technology move deeper into inference, or usage (rather than AI model training).
The Nvidia competitor upsized its offering twice, initially targeting a share price of $115-$125, then $150-$160, and ultimately pricing at $185 a share. At IPO, Cerebras was valued at $56.4 billion, more than double the $23 billion it commanded just three months ago, when it closed a $1 billion funding round.

Cerebras IPO: Here's What a $5,000 Investment Could Look Like in 5 Years
Cerebras Systems is scheduled to hit the Nasdaq on May 14 in the most anticipated IPO of 2026 so far.
The artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure race has produced no shortage of headline-grabbing companies. With its initial public offering (IPO) set for May 14, Cerebras may be the most closely followed infrastructure name at the moment. The chipmaker is known for its Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE) — a single chip designed to handle the computational demands of large language models (LLMs) more efficiently than clusters of traditional GPUs.
This capability has caught the attention of leading AI powerhouses OpenAI and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Back in January, OpenAI signed a multiyear, $10 billion deal with Cerebras to purchase 750 megawatts of compute capacity. More recently, the ChatGPT developer doubled down on this relationship by agreeing to purchase $20 billion worth of the company's chips. Meanwhile, AWS agreed to deploy Cerebras' CS-3 system and Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking on Amazon Bedrock.
