Why Wolfe Research Sees More Downside Ahead for C3.ai (AI)
Inc. (NYSE:AI) is one of the . On August 11, Wolfe Research analyst Gal Munda reiterated an Underperform rating on the stock with a $15.00 price target. The rating affirmation follows the company's first quarter fiscal 2026 results. On Friday, the company reported that it sees preliminary revenue of $70.2 million-$70.4 million, an estimated 33% below the midpoint of its previous Q1 guidance for $100 million-$109 million. The adjusted operating loss will be $57.7 million-$59.9 million, almost twice as bad as the $23.5 million-$33.5 million loss that the company had expected. Company CEO Thomas Siebel said that sales results during the quarter were 'completely unacceptable' but driven by 'disruptive effect' of the reorganization and his ongoing health issues. Wolfe Research noted that it believes F1Q26 results have been a 'negative surprise that will likely drive shares materially lower despite the restructuring of the sales organization.' 'In July, the company announced a search for a successor to the CEO, and in the 8-K filing (link to filing here), it did not reiterate guidance, which we viewed as a risk to expectations. We believe F1Q26 results were a negative surprise that will likely drive shares materially lower despite the restructuring of the sales organization. Given the disappointing F1Q26 results, we believe FY26 revenue guidance could be revised significantly lower or potentially pulled entirely. Reiterate UP and $15 PT. ' Inc.

Asia markets set to open mixed as investors await key economic data in the region
Asia-Pacific markets are expected to trade mixed as investors await a slate of Chinese economic data later in the day, as well as Japan's second-quarter GDP. Happy Friday from Singapore. Asia markets are set for a mixed open. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was set to start the day marginally lower with futures tied to the benchmark at 8,838, compared with the index's last close of 8.873.8. Japan's Nikkei 225 was set to open higher, with the futures contract in Chicago at 42,795, while its counterpart in Osaka last traded at 42,770, against the index's last close of 42,649.26. Futures for Hong Kong's Hang Seng index stood at 25,316, pointing to a weaker open compared with the HSI's last close of 25,519.32. South Korean markets were closed for a holiday. — Lee Ying Shan The S&P 500 ticked higher on Thursday to eke out its third record close in a row. The benchmark added 0.03%, closing at 6,468.54. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.01%, finishing at 21,710.67. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 11.01 points, or 0.02%, and settled at 44,911.26. — Lisa Kailai Han In a Thursday interview with CNBC, economist Marc Sumerlin confirmed that he's in the running to be the next Federal Reserve chair. "I got a call last Wednesday that said there was going to be a list [and] I was going to be on it. That's as much as I know right now," he said. "I'm waiting for more guidance on where we go from here." Sumerlin also voiced his support for a big interest rate cut. The former senior economist under then-President George W. Bush said that a 50 basis-point rate cut "seems like pretty much a no-brainer to me." One basis point equals 0.01%, so a 50 basis-point cut would be half a percentage point. — Jeff Cox, Lisa Kailai Han Equities may have further upside from here, but investors should still be mindful of elevated volatility going forward, according to UBS. "While the VIX index of implied stock volatility has fallen to the lowest level since December last year, market swings could pick up quickly if trade tensions escalate significantly, economic data weakens faster than expected, or if geopolitical risks worsen," the bank wrote in a Wednesday note to clients. "Investors who are already allocated to equities in line with their strategic benchmarks should consider structured strategies with capital preservation features, while those underallocated should prepare to add exposure on potential market dips or consider a disciplined approach to phasing into stocks." UBS added that a "well-diversified portfolio" is suited for helping investors hedge against volatility while also setting them up for future gains. — Lisa Kailai Han

Consumer Rights Law Firm Hagens Berman Launches Investigation into Real Estate Agent Practices
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Attorneys at national consumer-rights law firm Hagens Berman have initiated an investigation into real estate agent practices regarding home sale transactions. If we find that consumers were misled, we're prepared to act to hold companies responsible. Share The investigation comes on the heels of a blockbuster settlement totaling $1 billion in Burnett v.

Berman, managing partner of Hagens Berman and co-lead counsel in the recentlandmark real estate antitrust case. 'Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial decisions people make.
