Market cap $52B

Digi Power X (DGXX) transitions from crypto mining to AI infrastructure, anchored by a $1.1B take-or-pay contract with Cerebras for 40 MW in Alabama. DGXX's dual revenue model—colocation and GPU rentals—offers both predictable income and upside from compute scarcity, with management targeting $140M+ annualized contracted run rate in 2027. The current $150M cash balance and no debt support project execution, but ongoing equity raises dilute shareholders; prudent debt financing is preferred for future growth.

I'm reiterating Cerebras Systems (CBRS) as a Buy with an updated price target of $284. CBRS raised 2026 core revenue guidance to $880–$890 million and expects at least 3x core revenue growth in 2027, improving revenue visibility. Core cloud and services revenue surged 287% y/y, supporting the thesis of CBRS as an AI inference infrastructure platform with expanding operating leverage.

This week's Tech Corner turns to a recent entry into the public trading space: Cerebras (CBRS). Rick Ducat turns to the various headwinds and tailwinds facing the company as it seeks to become a worthy competitor to Nvidia (NVDA).

Cerebras cleared all three numbers it guided to seven weeks ago, then raised the full year by $25 million on a $15.9 million beat. Shares fell almost 12% anyway. The entire raise is backloaded into the fourth quarter. Q4 revenue has to jump 22 to 28% right after Q3 was guided at 2%. Cerebras guides on core. The headlines graded the quarter on GAAP, which turns an 8.2% core beat into a 7.26% GAAP miss.

CBRS shares sink 12% after Q2 as muted Q3 growth and margin pressure overshadow surging revenues, while its $25.4B RPO supports long-term growth.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WHAT: Cerebras will host a livestream of its upcoming SUPERNOVA flagship event, featuring product announcements, keynotes and demos of ultra-fast AI inference and production AI applications.

Cerebras' (CBRS) Q2 earnings outperformance and recent AMD Helios collaboration has materially weakened by previous sell thesis by improving WSE's opportunity within disaggregated inference architectures. OpenAI's GPT-5.6 Sol Ultrafast preview released this morning (August 14) also provides further validation of Cerebras' differentiated low-latency inference advantage. While I was wrong to underappreciate WSE's competitiveness alongside emerging rack-scale platforms, meaningful third-party penetration remains unproven - despite robust AI capex spending commitments.

Cerebras Systems co-founder and CEO Andrew Feldman discusses the company's Q2 earnings, its WSE AI chip and its $20 billion partnership with OpenAI on ‘The Claman Countdown.'

Cerebras's missed Wall Street's sales and earnings targets for the second quarter. Despite the Q2 misses, the company delivered significant upward revisions to its full-year targets.

Cerebras Systems beats Q2 estimates as core revenues jump 103%, fueled by a 287% surge in cloud services and rapid adoption of fast inference.
