### Q4 FY2026 Earnings Beat (June 3, 2026)
C3.ai announced preliminary Q4 and full fiscal year 2026 results on May 12, 2026, followed by the formal earnings release on June 3, 2026 [[1]](https://c3.ai/news). The company reported a beat on earnings, posting an EPS of **-$0.33** versus the consensus estimate of **-$0.45** [[2]](https://public.com/stocks/ai/earnings). This represented a meaningful upside surprise on the bottom line. However, it is worth noting that one source references a slightly different figure of **-$0.373 EPS** relative to a **-$0.33** expectation [[7]](https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/ai/earnings), which may reflect differing adjusted vs. GAAP metrics or a discrepancy in source reporting. Regardless, the earnings result was broadly characterized as a beat [[2]](https://public.com/stocks/ai/earnings).
