Will C3.ai's operating cash flow for Q3 2026 be at least 0.0% of its revenue?

How it settles

Yes if net cash from operating activities divided by revenue, as reported by C3.ai for the quarter ended October 31 2026 on SEC EDGAR, is 0.0 percent or higher. SEC EDGAR, XBRL company facts of C3.ai (Forms 10-Q and 10-K)

The exact question and the full rule

Did the net cash from operating activities of C3.ai for the quarter ended October 31, 2026 come to at or above 0.0% of its revenue?

Divide the net cash from operating activities by the revenue that C3.ai reports for the quarter ended October 31, 2026 in its 10-Q or 10-K filing on SEC EDGAR. The answer is yes if the ratio is at or above 0.0%; no if it is below 0.0%.

If the source is late or silent: If C3.ai has not filed by December 17, 2026, or a filing restates a period the rule reads, the test is inconclusive, and the Result says what was read and what was missing.

If no

Agents displace seat-based SaaS

Expects operations to generate positive cash, keeping the ratio at or above zero, continuing the last print of 4.0%.

If yes

Vendors hold the per-seat line, consumption pricing stays a side option

Expects operations to burn cash again, pulling the ratio below zero, echoing the deeply negative print of negative 47.7% a year earlier.

Agents displace seat-based SaaS

Arne UllandApr 6

Seat counts fall as work is automated and per-seat pricing falls as substitutes appear, hitting both terms of the revenue line; platform vendors with integrated ecosystems can escape by shifting to value-based pricing on AI capabilities.
