Cerebras Systems raised its 2026 revenue forecast and signed Microsoft Corp as a customer, sending shares up 17% in extended trading on Thursday. The chip maker's upbeat outlook eased investor jitters over AI infrastructure spending following leadership changes at NVIDIA Corp and voter pushback in the United States against data centers. Cerebras shares had previously fallen 47.2% from their May IPO price amid concerns over soaring costs.
