AI stocks surge after C3.ai’s strong forecast

Shares of synthetic intelligence-based (AI) product makers zoomed in premarket commerce, as a powerful forecast by retail investor darling C3.ai Inc amplified an ongoing euphoria pushed by the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

C3.a1 forecast a better-than-expected income and revenue for each the fourth quarter and financial 12 months 2023, after the AI software program firm posted third-quarter outcomes that topped Wall Street estimates.

“The revenue was driven by execution of its consumption-based pricing model, which provides clients with greater flexibility and improved demand for its solutions,” analysts at Piper Sandler stated.
