Fifteen brokerages covering C3.ai report a consensus recommendation of “Reduce,” with five issuing sell ratings, seven holding, two buying and one strong buy. This yields an average rating score of 1.93 on a 1–5 scale, indicating modest bearishness. While some firms like Wedbush maintain outperform views, the majority view suggests cautious positioning among professional analysts.

For the latest quarter, C3.ai posted revenue of $75.2 million, down 20.3% year-over-year, and generated a net margin of –108.1%. Return on equity stands at –46.5% and return on assets at –37.9%, reflecting heavy investment in R&D and sales despite shrinking top-line. Earnings per share of –$0.25 beat consensus estimates by $0.08, but the company remains unprofitable on both GAAP and non-GAAP bases.

In the past 90 days, insiders sold approximately 1.95 million shares, representing a 20–22% reduction across key executives.
