Cerebras Shares Fall Back After Whirlwind IPO Debut

The swing tests how far investors will chase a non‑GPU AI bet priced at triple‑digit sales multiples.

Overview

  • Cerebras shares, which opened at $350 on Thursday after a $185 IPO price, slid to $279.72 by Friday’s close after a volatile first session.
  • The offering raised about $6.38 billion in gross proceeds after underwriters sold the full extra allotment of shares.
  • At those prices the company traded at roughly 130 to 134 times its last year of revenue, far above established chip makers like Nvidia.
  • Reported 2025 revenue rose to $510 million and the $238 million net profit largely came from a one‑time accounting gain as operating losses grew.
  • Big contracts with OpenAI and a binding AWS term sheet buoy growth hopes, yet about 86% of 2025 sales came from two UAE‑linked customers.
