Cerebras Systems (NASDAQ: CBRS) shares rebounded 6.67% to $184.13 on Wednesday morning after falling 3.6% to $177.50 on Tuesday, as investors weighed a new AI data-center partnership in Mikkeli, Finland, with Compute Nordic Finland. The project is being developed in phases, beginning with 50 MW under construction and ultimately reaching 165 MW of contracted IT capacity through seven-year service orders, expanding Cerebras’ European footprint around its wafer-scale engine architecture amid demand for sovereign European AI infrastructure. Cerebras has secured more than 600 MW of data-center capacity that is operational or contractually committed. Ark Invest bought 93,290 CBRS shares worth approximately $17.2 million on Aug. 25, adding to earlier August purchases as Cathie Wood’s firm focuses on the company’s AI-inference opportunity. Second-quarter core revenue rose 74.3% year over year to $209.9 million, fueled by a 287% expansion in the cloud segment to $127.7 million, while earlier coverage also cited total second-quarter revenue of $180.1 million. CEO Andrew Feldman said demand for fast inference is enormous and that high-speed processing opens new markets as the company scales data-center and manufacturing infrastructure with partners including OpenAI, AWS and AMD. CFO Bob Komin said results beat expectations across core operational metrics. Management raised full-year fiscal 2026 core-revenue guidance to $880 million-$890 million, guided third-quarter core revenue to $214 million-$216 million, and reiterated targets to more than triple revenue in 2027 backed by $25.4 billion in remaining performance obligations. Eleven analysts include eight Strong Buy, one Moderate Buy and two Hold ratings; the consensus price target is $283.91. The next estimated earnings report is scheduled for Nov. 19, 2026, with consensus calling for revenue of $214.90 million and an EPS loss of 14 cents.
