Cerebras Systems' (CBRS) Q1 results versus expectations will likely depend on supply dynamics and early traction in the AI accelerator market, Wedbush Securities said Monday in a report.

Wedbush cited several potential sources of upside, including the possibility of higher-than-expected wafer output from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM), which could support stronger system shipments, and the expected launch of its next-generation WSE-4 processor in late 2026 or early 2027, which may provide additional revenue and margin benefits.

"However, ultimately, Cerebras's success will be less about near-term upside and more about building meaningful share in the rapidly expanding AI accelerator market," the report said.

The company is set to release its Q1 results on Tuesday.

Several industry trends appear supportive, including continued growth in AI inference demand, potential production upside from TSMC that may enable additional customers, and ongoing memory supply constraints that may strengthen Cerebras's competitive position in the intermediate term, the report said.

Wedbush has an outperform rating on Cerebras stock with a $270 price target.

Cerebras shares fell 1.8% in Monday trading, and TSMC rose 1%.
