The manufacturer of artificial intelligence chips, Cerebras Systems, publicly announced on Friday its plan to go public in the United States. This move brings Nvidia’s competitor closer to the stock markets, as optimism grows about a general uptick in trading.
The company, which develops high-performance processors dedicated to AI workloads, had withdrawn its previous IPO filing in October, just days after raising over a billion dollars in a funding round that valued it at $8 billion.
The IPO market has regained strength after a brief slowdown in March, when volatility fueled by geopolitical tensions and a wave of tech stock sales dampened investor appetite.
The recent acceleration in market offerings suggests that companies are returning to the market as sentiment stabilizes. Issuers and bankers are betting that the recovery seen earlier this year can continue in the coming months.
Analysts expect that AI-related companies will lead the way in technology sector IPOs, with businesses seeing significant growth potential through widespread adoption of generative AI.
Cerebras aims to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol “CBRS”.
Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Barclays, and UBS are acting as joint bookrunners for this operation.
