  • Often, these reports aren’t true, or have an element of truth to them that are grossly exaggerated, even if allowed under accounting standards. But in the short term, shares can get knocked down, allowing the short seller to profit quickly.

    The short report suggests that C3.ai has been overstating its revenues and margins.

    While shares may have some short-term downside thanks to this report, investors who feel that they’ve missed out on the AI trend now have another crack at buying into the AI story without paying all-time-high prices.

But the company is valued under $3 billion, and likely has substantial upside for long-term investors who can hold through the volatility.
