Cerebras CBRS Dips After Mixed Q2 as Cloud Revenue Surges

Cerebras Systems (CBRS) posted Q2 revenue of $180.1M, up 74% year over year, but hardware sales slipped to $54.1M amid lumpy demand and data-center space constraints while its cloud-services revenue jumped to $126M. The company swung to a net loss of $450.5M largely due to $386.6M in stock-based compensation.
