Published on 14 May 2026
Shares priced at $185, against a $115 to $125 range
Cerebras pulled off a blockbuster IPO, raising $5.5 billion and pricing shares Wednesday night at $185—well above its earlier range that stretched from $115 to $125, later revised upward. The offering grew to 30 million shares, and pre-market trading suggests a sharp opening pop driven by retail demand. At the IPO price, the company’s fully diluted valuation lands at $56.4 billion. The turnaround follows an earlier CFIUS roadblock and a major revenue and profit swing in 2025.
