Cerebras sinks 14% as full-year margin forecast disappoints

Cerebras shares fell about 14% premarket after the chip designer warned that annual profit margins would come in below first-quarter levels in its first earnings report since a blockbuster IPO. The outlook signals margin pressure despite the company's high-profile debut, weighing on investor sentiment. The move is likely to affect the stock materially, though the broader market impact should be limited.
