AI’s Growth Story Just Hit a Speed Bump 🤖
$CBRS.US Cerebras shares plunged more than 18% premarket Thursday after the AI chipmaker missed key estimates in its latest results, despite a higher annual outlook. Investors had been expecting a lot after the stock climbed 41% from its IPO price.
The numbers were mixed. Cerebras’ cloud business nearly quadrupled to $126 million from a year earlier, showing strong demand for its computing services.
But hardware revenue, including AI chips, fell to $54.1 million from $70.3 million a year ago. Adjusted gross margin also dropped to 40.6% from 46.5% in the prior quarter.
That’s a notable warning for the AI hardware trade. Demand is booming, but investors are becoming much less forgiving when growth, execution, or margins don't match the hype. 📉
