The $3.71 billion stock, among the small-cap AI firms that have benefited from excitement around Generative AI sparked by the success of ChatGPT, has surged about 180% so far this year.
However, the Redwood City, California-based company scrapped its target to achieve quarterly profit by April 30, 2024 as it looks to invest in its Generative AI solutions.
"After careful consideration... we have made the decision to invest in lead generation, branding, market awareness and customer success related to our Generative AI solutions," said CEO Thomas Siebel.
Shares are down 21% since early June when the company's disappointing quarterly revenue forecast dented some of the recent euphoria around artificial intelligence-linked stocks.
