The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), such as OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's BARD, and Baidu's Ernie Bot, have sparked interest in AI-related stocks. One company that has caught the attention of investors is C3.ai (AI), a leading enterprise artificial intelligence software company that provides customized AI solutions for various industries such as energy, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.
C3.ai operates globally, with a strong focus on the enterprise market, and has established partnerships with major corporations like Microsoft (MSFT) and Amazon (AMZN), which could drive future growth. However, the AI software industry is highly competitive and C3.ai faces stiff competition from technology giants like IBM (IBM) and Google (GOOGL), as well as newer players like PagerDuty (PD), Sprinklr (CXM), Alarm.com Holdings (ALRM), Jamf Holdings (JAMF).
The company's revenue also heavily relies on a small number of customers, making it more vulnerable to any downturns in their business. Despite this, the increasing demand for AI solutions across various industries presents a favorable market outlook for C3.ai.
As of October 31, 2022, C3.ai reported a forecasted revenue growth of 20.42% per year, but the company remains unprofitable and is expected to continue in this stage for the next three years. Its current EPS is -2.16 and Net Profit Margin is -88.43%. On the bright side, C3.ai is debt-free. The next earnings call is on March 3, 2023.
C3.ai's share price as of February 8, 2023, was USD 26.19, a 74% drop from its opening price of USD 100 on December 9, 2021, and 85% below its all-time high of USD 170.53.
Investing in C3.ai, like any investment, carries certain risks that should be carefully considered. It's important to conduct thorough due diligence and to seek the advice of a financial professional before making a decision.
