Cerebras stock fell 24% from its May 14 opening-day close, deepening the reversal after the AI chipmaker's blockbuster market debut.
Nearly 70% first-day gains had made Cerebras the year's biggest listing, but that early euphoria has now given way to a sharp post-IPO selloff.
The drop extends losses already reported at more than 22% since the debut, underscoring how quickly sentiment has turned on one of 2026's highest-profile IPOs.

Overview
Cerebras Systems made a highly anticipated IPO debut in May 2026, opening at $350 per share without pre-IPO secondary trading, which led to a supply-demand imbalance and a 10% drop in stock price on the second day. Despite this initial volatility, Cerebras quickly reached a market capitalization of about $51.35 billion, establishing itself as a major player in the competitive AI chip market. The company's unique IPO structure and rapid valuation growth highlight both the excitement and challenges of entering public markets during the AI boom, setting the stage for its ongoing role in the industry.
