C3.ai Stock Analysis: 33% Verge of Crash

C3.ai (NYSE: AI) stock has lost some bullish momentum as investors appreciate its role in the artificial intelligence industry. After soaring to his year-to-date high of $34.56 on April 3, the stock is now plummeting to around $20.

C3.ai is highly overrated

C3.ai’s share price has performed well this year as investors bet it will become a major player in the AI ​​industry, which has become mainstream after ChatGPT’s launch. This rise is in line with the performance of his other AI companies and cryptocurrencies.

However, there are serious concerns about whether ChatGPT will boost C3’s business activity. As companies explore AI use cases in their own operations, there will be some initial increase in demand, but no significant long-term change.

Additionally, it is important to consider the valuation of the company. A quick look shows that C3.ai has a market capitalization over his $2 billion, which is a lot of money. Now, in terms of revenue, the company said that in 2019 he made $91.6 million, and in 2022 he surged to $252.8 million. This is a strong and promising result.

However, its losses also widened during this period. C3 saw him lose over $192 million in 2022 after losing over $33 million in 2018. The increase was due to a surge in R&D and S&A expenses. Unfortunately, C3 could continue to lose money for years to come.

This sharp loss is acceptable for a start-up looking to gain market share. But C3.ai is not a startup. Instead, it is a company founded in 2009. So now he’s a 14 year old company. So it doesn’t make sense to give top dollar to loss making companies.

Meanwhile, it’s worth noting that C3.ai executives are selling shares. To be precise, CFOs Juho Parkkinen and Dr. Richard Levin sold millions of dollars worth of stock this year.

C3 chart by TradingView

The daily chart shows that C3’s stock is at a critical support level and has not fallen below since February 14th. At the same time, the stock price fell below the 25-day and 50-day moving averages and hit the Ichimoku cloud.

Therefore, we expect C3’s share price to be a bearish breakout as sellers target the key support at $13.38. This price is estimated by measuring the distance between the triple top and the neckline, which is also consistent with my recent C3 stock prediction for him.
