C3.ai upgraded following Q4 earnings, shares plunge on soft guidance

Wedbush upgraded C3.ai (NYSE: AI ) to Outperform from Neutral and raised its price target to $50.00 from $24.00 following Q4 earnings, as InvestingPro reported in real time.

While Q4 EPS and revenue came in better than the consensus estimates, the soft outlook disappointed investors. As a result, shares fell more than 13% yesterday.

According to the firm, C3.ai has turned a corner and is ready to now capitalize on the $800 billion AI transformational opportunity over the next decade with use cases increasing across the board. Furthermore, Wedbush noted that the company is in a unique position to help lead the charge and monetize this looking ahead the next 12 to 18 months.

Chevron earns another upgrade

RBC Capital upgraded Chevron (NYSE: CVX ) to Outperform from Sector Perform and raised its price target to $180.00 from $165.00, noting that the PDC Energy (NASDAQ: PDCE ) deal re-rates the company's FCF yield higher.

Looking forward, the bank believes the macro environment is likely to remain volatile, however, weaker end product demand and OPEC+ managing the oil market leaves the company’s upstream heavy weighting well-placed.

Earlier this week, JPMorgan upgraded the company to Neutral from Underweight with a price target of $170.00 (from $161.00).

2 more upgrades

Domino’s Pizza (NYSE: DPZ ) shares rose more than 2% yesterday after JPMorgan upgraded the company to Overweight from Neutral and raised its price target to $360.00 from $340.00.

Morgan Stanley upgraded The Trade Desk (NASDAQ: TTD ) to Overweight from Equalweight with a price target of $90.00, noting that the company is driving and benefiting from growth in CTV and retail media advertising.

As a result, shares closed more than 4% higher yesterday and gained around 3% pre-market today.
