This is an inflection point for Enterprise AI, driving growth,” said Thomas Siebel, chairman and CEO of C3.AI.
C3.AI said it expects third-quarter revenue to be in the range of $95.5 million to $100.5 million versus estimates of $97.57 million. The company expects full-year revenue to be between $378 million and $398 million versus estimates of $382.57 million, per Benzinga Pro.
