C3.ai Inc. (NYSE:AI) is one of the worst-performing agentic AI stocks so far in 2026.
As of the April 2, 2026 close, the stock was down about 35.9% year to date, with shares finishing at $8.64.
A fresh insider filing added another uncomfortable headline. According to a Form 4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Chief Executive Officer Stephen Bradley Ehikian sold 52,194 shares of Class A common stock on March 31 at weighted-average prices ranging from $7.97 to $8.41, for proceeds of roughly $429,100. After the sale, his direct holdings were reduced to 721,485 shares.
On its own, the transaction is not enormous. But it lands at a rough time for the stock. In its fiscal third quarter ended January 31, 2026, C3.ai reported revenue of $53.3 million, down 46.1% year over year, while the company continued to post a net loss. That weak top-line comparison has helped keep pressure on sentiment even as management pointed to federal demand and deal activity.
C3.ai, Inc. (NYSE:AI) provides enterprise artificial intelligence software that helps organizations build, deploy, and operate AI applications for uses such as predictive maintenance, fraud detection, supply chain optimization, and government operations.
