Cerebras Systems Revives IPO Plans for 2026 After Regulatory Clearance

December 22, 2025
Cerebras Systems is preparing to file for a U.S. IPO next week, targeting a second-quarter 2026 listing. The move follows the company's clearance from U.S. regulators and the removal of G42 from its investor list after previous delays.

Cerebras Systems is preparing to file for a U.S. initial public offering next week, aiming for a listing in the second quarter of 2026. The filing marks the company's return to public market plans after multiple postponements tied to regulatory scrutiny.

The AI chipmaker previously withdrew its IPO in October 2025, shortly after raising $1.1 billion in private funding at an $8 billion valuation. Earlier delays were linked to a national security review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which examined the involvement of G42, a minority investor from the United Arab Emirates.

Cerebras has since received clearance from the committee, and G42 no longer appears on its updated investor list. The reason for the change has not been disclosed. With regulatory concerns resolved, the company is proceeding with a new filing.

Founded in 2016, Cerebras develops wafer-scale processors designed to accelerate the training and inference of large AI models. Its Wafer-Scale Engine 3 integrates 900,000 AI cores and four trillion transistors, positioning it as a competitor to Nvidia's GPU systems. The upcoming IPO will test investor confidence in Cerebras' technology and market strategy after a year of delays.
