Cerebras secured $5.5 billion in its IPO, setting the share price at $185, significantly higher than the anticipated range of $115 to $125, which was later adjusted to $150-$160. The offering was expanded to 30 million shares. Pre-market trading suggests a substantial increase in share value due to high demand from retail investors. At the IPO valuation, Cerebras starts trading with a fully-diluted valuation of $56.4 billion. Co-founder CEO Andrew Feldman’s stake is valued at nearly $1.9 billion, and co-founder CTO Sean Lie’s stake at about $1 billion. Previously delayed by CFIUS due to concerns about a major investment from Group 42 and its financials, Cerebras renewed its IPO efforts in April by showing doubled revenues of $510 million in 2025 and a profit swing to $237.8 million net income. Key customers now include OpenAI, G42, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, and Amazon Web Services.
