Report of the week: Cerebras’s revenue growth by Sacra

Picking the right semiconductor stocks can make or break your portfolio’s performance for the year.
While Nvidia's Q2 results and rising competition dominate the headlines, Sacra has just published a revenue growth report on Cerebras—one of Nvidia's leading private challengers and a prominent member of our Launchbay25 Index.

Sacra estimates that Cerebras generated $250M in revenue in 2023, representing a staggering 200% year-over-year growth. This impressive trajectory positions Cerebras as the largest revenue-generating AI chip startup. With such momentum, Cerebras has firmly secured its place in one of the most exciting battles in tech. Check out this insightful analysis on Cerebras' competition with Nvidia.

On the secondary market, investor sentiment is rising, with implied valuations climbing since May, further fueled by IPO rumours.
