Artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure firm Cerebras Systems (CBRS) is set to host its Supernova event on Aug. 18, after reporting its Q2 results on Aug.12, after the market closes. Prior to that, Wedbush analysts have taken a bullish stance on Cerebras, maintaining an "Outperform" rating and a $280 price target (indicating a 19.3% upside from current levels).
