Cerebras Systems, a prominent artificial intelligence semiconductor manufacturer, has submitted a revised filing to generate as much as $3.5 billion through a public offering on the Nasdaq exchange.
The chipmaker intends to offer 28 million shares within a price band of $115 to $125 per share. Should the offering price at the maximum level, Cerebras could achieve a market value of $26.6 billion.
This represents an increase from the $23 billion assessment the business secured in February during its most recent private funding round, which counted Advanced Micro Devices among its backers.
Cerebras manufactures specialized AI processors positioned as competitors to the graphics chips produced by Nvidia, the current leader in AI computing hardware.
The offering will list under the stock symbol “CBRS” on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Investment banks Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Barclays, and UBS Investment Bank are serving as primary underwriters.
The company has included a greenshoe provision allowing underwriters to purchase an extra 4.2 million shares within 30 days following the IPO. If exercised at maximum pricing, this option would generate an additional $525 million.
Transition to Cloud Services
Cerebras initially attempted a market debut in 2024 but withdrew its application. At that time, the organization was transforming its approach from direct chip sales to operating a cloud computing platform built on its proprietary technology.
The company submitted a second IPO application in April 2026. Investor presentations are currently in progress.
During January 2025, Cerebras revealed plans to deliver up to 750 megawatts of AI processing capacity to OpenAI extending through 2028. Industry analysts estimated this arrangement at more than $20 billion.
Impressive Financial Performance
Cerebras disclosed fourth-quarter sales of $510 million, marking a 76% surge versus the corresponding quarter in the prior year.
The business recorded a quarterly profit of $87.9 million, demonstrating its capability to achieve profitability.
Company co-founder and chief executive Andrew Feldman plans to retain all his holdings during the public offering. Following the transaction, his stake of 10.3 million shares could be valued at approximately $1.28 billion at the highest offering price.
This public listing arrives during a period of limited technology IPO activity following rising interest rates that began in 2022. Competitor CoreWeave, which provides Nvidia GPU-based cloud services, successfully raised $1.5 billion through its own market debut last year.
Mizuho and TD Cowen are participating as bookrunners, alongside multiple other financial institutions acting as co-managers for the transaction.
