Cerebras faces securities probe after shares swing 50% from IPO peak

Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP opened a securities law investigation into Cerebras Systems Inc. on July 24, probing whether the AI chipmaker violated federal securities laws, the firm said in a statement.

"Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP is investigating potential securities violations against Cerebras Systems Inc.," the firm said. The New York-based law firm invited investors who suffered losses to come forward with information.

Cerebras went public in May 2026 at $185 per share, surging as high as $386.34 on its first trading day before falling below $161 in late June. The stock traded at about $220 as of Thursday, when Cerebras announced a partnership with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. to integrate its wafer-scale chips into AMD's Helios AI systems. The shares gained roughly 5% on the news.

The investigation adds legal uncertainty to a stock that has already been among the most volatile in the semiconductor sector since its debut. Cerebras in January struck a deal with OpenAI to deliver 750 megawatts of computing power through 2028, a contract valued at more than $10 billion. The company's wafer-scale chips are designed for ultra-low-latency AI inference, a market that has drawn intense competition after Nvidia Corp. acquired Groq's assets in December for $20 billion.
