Cerebras Systems has priced its U.S. initial public offering at $185 per share, placing the final price above the previously expected range and highlighting strong investor demand for companies tied to artificial intelligence.

The offering raised $5.55 billion through the sale of 30 million shares. Based on the fully diluted share count, the IPO gives Cerebras an estimated valuation of $56.43 billion, making it the largest U.S. stock market debut so far this year.

Demand for the IPO was significantly higher than the number of available shares, with investor orders reportedly exceeding supply by more than 20 times. This strong interest led the company to increase both the price and the number of shares offered.

Cerebras had previously marketed the shares between $150 and $160 each, already above an earlier range of $115 to $125. The company also raised the number of shares offered from 28 million to 30 million.

The listing comes during a broader recovery in the IPO market. U.S. IPO proceeds have more than doubled compared with the same period last year, reaching $22.3 billion, as investors show renewed interest in public listings, especially companies connected to artificial intelligence, aerospace, and defense.

Recent listings in the defense and aerospace sectors have also contributed to this momentum, as investors continue looking for exposure to areas supported by national security spending, advanced technology, and AI infrastructure.

Founded in 2015 and based in Sunnyvale, California, Cerebras develops specialized chips designed to run advanced AI models. The company operates in a highly competitive market dominated by Nvidia, but demand for its processors has grown as AI companies increasingly move from training models to deploying them at scale.

According to its regulatory filing, Cerebras reported revenue of $510 million for the year ended December 31, up from $290.3 million the previous year.

The company’s shares are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol CBRS.
