C3.ai, Inc. (AI) Surges 16.0%: Is This an Indication of Further Gains?

Zacks Equity Research
·2-min read

C3.ai, Inc. AI shares rallied 16% in the last trading session to close at $32.94. This move can be attributable to notable volume with a higher number of shares being traded than in a typical session. This compares to the stock's 61.5% gain over the past four weeks.

The optimism surrounding the stock can be attributed to bright long-term prospects following NVIDIA’s blowout guidance for second-quarter fiscal 2024, indicating strong demand for artificial intelligence chips.

This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.17 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +19.1%. Revenues are expected to be $72.32 million, unchanged compared to the year-ago quarter.

Earnings and revenue growth expectations certainly give a good sense of the potential strength in a stock, but empirical research shows that trends in earnings estimate revisions are strongly correlated with near-term stock price movements.
