Artificial intelligence infrastructure stocks remained in focus Thursday after Cerebras Systems nearly doubled in its Nasdaq debut following one of the largest U.S. tech IPOs in recent years. The AI chipmaker opened at $350 after pricing shares at $185, pushing its valuation above $100 billion.
Cerebras raised $5.55 billion through the offering and has positioned itself as a major challenger in the AI hardware market. The company has expanded beyond hardware sales into cloud-based AI services through partnerships with OpenAI and Amazon Web Services, while continuing to compete directly against NVIDIA in high-performance AI computing.

- NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA): $234.82, up $8.90 (3.94%)
- Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU): $789.39, down $14.24 (1.77%)

Investor Sentiment
The explosive debut highlights continued investor appetite for pure-play AI infrastructure companies, particularly those tied to accelerating demand for large-scale model training and AI cloud services. Markets appear willing to assign premium valuations to firms positioned as alternatives or complements to NVIDIA’s dominant GPU ecosystem.
The offering may also signal improving conditions for technology IPOs after several sluggish years for public listings. With additional AI-focused companies reportedly preparing offerings later this year, investors are increasingly treating artificial intelligence not just as a software trend, but as a broad infrastructure and capital deployment cycle spanning chips, networking and cloud computing.
