In the end, the IPO price was raised even further to $185 per share, with 30 million shares issued, resulting in a massive $5.55 billion offering. In addition, the lead underwriters were reportedly granted a 4.5 million share over-allotment (greenshoe) option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although CBRS pulled back slightly on Friday, May 15, the stock still closed at a very strong $279.72. It seems fair to say that this \u201cprelude\u201d to the 2026 IPO festival was a huge success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"561\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalpersonalagent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260516-CBRS-15\u5206\u8db3-1024x561.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalpersonalagent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260516-CBRS-15\u5206\u8db3-1024x561.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/digitalpersonalagent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260516-CBRS-15\u5206\u8db3-300x164.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/digitalpersonalagent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260516-CBRS-15\u5206\u8db3-768x421.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/digitalpersonalagent.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/20260516-CBRS-15\u5206\u8db3.jpeg 1038w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ScreCerebras Systems Stock Price Movement (15-Minute Chart) (USD)enshot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next comes the first true main event of the IPO festival: SpaceX.
