On August 20, Cerebras Systems fell 5.13% in regular trading, trading at approximately $204.43/share, with turnover of $258 million. The decline marks the third consecutive session of losses following the CS-4 launch and disappointing Q2 results.
The selloff reflects a classic buy-the-rumor, sell-the-news pattern. The stock had surged over 13% after Wedbush highlighted positive developments in its OpenAI partnership, fully pricing in the Supernova event catalyst. Despite the CS-4 system delivering 6x performance gains over CS-3 and earning bullish endorsements from UBS and BNP Paribas, profit-taking has dominated since the August 19 product unveiling. Additionally, Q2 results reported on August 12 showed revenue of $180.11 million missing the $194 million consensus, with adjusted EPS loss of $2.98 far exceeding expectations. While management raised full-year core revenue guidance to $880-$890 million, director Steven Vassallo's recent sale of approximately 50,000 shares through a family trust further weighed on sentiment.
