<p id="speakable-summary" class="wp-block-paragraph">Shares of Cerebras Systems dropped almost 20% on Wednesday, even after the company delivered better-than-expected <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2021728/000162828026044941/cbrsannouncesfinancialresu.htm" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">first-quarter earnings</a> on Tuesday.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That’s because in its first earnings report since going public, the AI chipmaker forecast a narrower gross margin in its core business, guiding for a full-year margin of 38% to 41%, compared with the 47% reported in the first quarter. The stock hit a new low on Wednesday, almost hitting the company’s IPO price. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/24/cerebras-cbrs-stock-earnings.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">told CNBC</a> that investors had misunderstood the company’s margin guidance, noting that Cerebras will need to rent back some equipment from one of its largest customers. </p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company said during its <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4917476-cerebras-systems-inc-cbrs-q1-2026-earnings-call-transcript" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">earnings call</a> that it decided to make more capacity available sooner by temporarily renting its own systems back from an existing customer while it builds out and deploys its own data center capacity. The company said this would cut into profit margins this year.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to the company’s earnings report, revenue for the quarter reached $193 million, up 94% year-over-year. Net loss narrowed to $14 million, down from $23.9 million a year earlier.</p>
