The company beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate in the last four quarters, delivering an earnings surprise of 43.73% on average.
Let’s see how things have shaped up before the announcement.
Factors to Watch
C3.ai’s third-quarter performance is likely to have gained from C3 Generative AI solutions and increased demand for its Enterprise AI software.
Strong momentum across generative AI solutions, owing to its introduction of C3 Generative AI to address challenges in large language models and provide multimodal solutions, is expected to have aided the company's performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
C3.ai's consistent innovation in the AI space is evident through its recognition as one of the Fortune 50 AI Innovators. The release of the platform version of the 8.3 product line and ongoing efforts to upgrade customers from version 7 to version 8.3 are expected to have boosted customer satisfaction during the fourth quarter.
The company's efforts to diversify its customer base and engage with clients across various industries, such as manufacturing, federal, defense, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals, are expected to have contributed significantly to revenue growth.
Beyond innovation and product capability, C3.ai has leveraged strong sales capabilities through strategic partnerships with tech giants like Booz Allen Hamilton, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud. These partnerships in the reported quarter are anticipated to have driven overall growth for the company.
However, C3 AI's top line might have continued to face challenges due to sales headwinds and prolonged decision cycles.
