Cerebras Withdraws IPO Filing, Plans to Refile After $1.1 Billion Raise

CEO Andrew Feldman says a revised prospectus will reflect stronger performance following the recent funding.

Overview

  • The AI chipmaker asked the SEC to withdraw its Sept. 30, 2024 Form S-1, which was never declared effective and under which no shares were sold.
  • In an Oct. 3 letter, the company requested that registration fees be credited for future use and that supplemental materials be returned or destroyed.
  • Feldman said the company still intends to go public after updating financials and strategy disclosures to reflect changes in its cloud and inference business.
  • Days earlier, Cerebras closed a $1.1 billion Series G led by Fidelity and Atreides that set an $8.1 billion valuation and expanded its investor base.
  • The IPO process previously faced delays tied to a national-security review of a $335 million investment from Abu Dhabi-based G42, a major customer and backer.
