(Reuters) - Shares of C3.ai Inc dropped nearly 20% in premarket trading on Thursday after the AI software maker's quarterly revenue forecast missed estimates, dampening some of Wall Street's recent euphoria around AI-linked stocks.

Most other small-cap artificial intelligence (AI) stocks fell after the disappointing outlook. AI analytics firm BigBear.ai, conversation intelligence firm SoundHound AI and Thailand's security firm Guardforce AI were down between 0.5% and 7.5%.
