Behind the Scenes of C3.ai's Latest Options Trends

Benzinga examined the prospects for <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">many investors' favorite stocks</a> over the last week — here's a look at some of our top stories.
Wall Street rallied as a wave of new trade deals — including agreements with Japan, Indonesia, and the Philippines — fueled optimism, pushing the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq to fresh record highs. President Donald Trump escalated pressure on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell during an in-person visit, demanding lower rates in light of trade easing.
Investor sentiment remained upbeat despite rising political friction. Treasury yields increased modestly on speculation about compromised Fed independence, amid calls from influential voices like Mohamed El‑Erian suggesting Powell resign to preserve central bank autonomy.
Looking ahead, markets are watching progress in U.S.–EU trade negotiations — including a meeting between Trump and Ursula von der Leyen — and upcoming economic data. Investor focus is also on whether pressure on the Fed may influence its rate path or institutional reputation.
Benzinga provides daily reports on the stocks most popular with investors. Here are a few of this past week's most bullish and bearish posts that are worth another look.

C3 AI Stock Is Tumbling Thursday: What's Going On?

The ongoing transformation in the artificial intelligence landscape is creating new opportunities for investors, particularly in the small-cap sector. C3.ai&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AI#NYSE">AI</a>) recent recognition by WestPark Capital as a &#8220;Buy&#8221; signal a shift in market sentiment, highlighting the company&#8217;s potential to emerge as a leader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">in enterprise AI.</a>
Analyst Curtis Shauger initiates coverage <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AI/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price </a><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AI/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">target of $40</a> and notes that C3.ai presents a rare small-cap opportunity in the AI sector.
He sees potential for significant stock upside as the company approaches profitability within the next 12–18 months.

Shauger believes that as an early leader in enterprise AI, C3.ai has absorbed the high costs of educating the market, similar to what companies like Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRM#NYSE">CRM</a>) faced in SaaS's early days.
While the company's five-year CAGR of 18% trails Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) 31%, Shauger highlights that C3.ai is among the few enterprise software firms to show accelerating growth over the last 7–8 quarters.
If the company sustains this positive trend, investor sentiment could shift sharply in its favor.
The analyst also notes that the company's growing partner network is helping it broaden its reach and improve efficiency.
Since its IPO, C3.ai has added major players like Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>), and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) to its indirect sales ecosystem, reducing its earlier reliance on oil and gas clients, particularly its partnership with Baker Hughes (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BKR#NASDAQ">BKR</a>).
Shauger believes these alliances can play a crucial role in helping the company scale and move closer to profitability over the next 12 to 18 months.
He further suggests that a move toward profitability could drive a strong valuation boost.
The analyst's $40 price forecast assumes an 8x multiple on calendar year 2026 revenue of $598 million, which could be achievable if the company turns profitable.
C3.ai currently trades below its historical median valuation, yet shows encouraging momentum driven by a growing number of high-profile partnerships.
Price Action: AI shares are trading higher by 3.3% to $27.26 at last check on Wednesday.

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.
