Key Points
- AI chipmaker Cerebras surges 90% on its trading debut, opening at $350 per share on the Nasdaq after pricing at $185, making it the biggest IPO of the year so far with a valuation exceeding $75 billion.
- Investor demand is overwhelming, with banks running the offering receiving orders for more than 20 times the available shares, as Cerebras positions itself as a challenger to AI chip giant Nvidia, which now holds a market value exceeding $5.6 trillion.
- The AI-driven market frenzy continues to fuel broader stock gains, with the S&P 500 up nearly 10% over the last three months, and Cerebras' IPO record is expected to be broken when Elon Musk's SpaceX, now merged with xAI, goes public at an anticipated valuation of over $2 trillion.
