| Below are five names that fit. | | 1) C3.ai (AI) — The "AI platform" story that's quietly getting less hypothetical | Recent price: ~$12.69
Consensus analyst target: ~$21.92 (about +73% upside) | C3.ai is still polarizing — and that's exactly why it's on a bargain-hunter list. The key question isn't whether "AI is real." It is. The question is whether C3.ai can convert its positioning into repeatable revenue and improving economics. | What the latest quarter shows (hard numbers): | Total revenue: $75.1M Subscription revenue: $70.2M (93% of total) Non-GAAP gross margin: 54% Cash + marketable securities: $675.0M Bookings: up 49% quarter-over-quarter Federal bookings: up 89% year-over-year (federal/defense/aerospace)
| Why it can be "cheap" here
At ~$12–$13, the stock is priced like growth is fragile — but the quarter showed momentum where it matters: | Subscription dominates revenue (less "services-y" risk than many assume). Bookings acceleration suggests the pipeline is converting. A $675M cash cushion gives it time to execute without "raise capital now" pressure.
| Near-term upside path
If bookings strength shows up in forward guidance and revenue durability over the next couple quarters, the market can re-rate it fast — because the analyst target implies Wall Street still sees meaningful upside from here. | | 2) SoundHound AI (SOUN) — Voice AI is having its "oh… this is deployable" moment | Recent price: ~$10.33
Consensus analyst target: ~$16.07 (about +56% upside) | SoundHound is a reminder that AI isn't only chips and chatbots — it's also replacing high-friction human workflows (ordering, support calls, voice-enabled commerce). | What the latest quarter shows: | | Why it can be "cheap" here
A ~$10 stock with a raised outlook to as much as $180M in annual revenue gets attention when: | | This is the type of name that can re-price quickly on a couple of clean beats (or a guide higher), because the "what is it worth if it works?" debate is still wide open. | Near-term upside path
The biggest "bargain hunter" tell is that analysts are still well above the current price, and the company itself raised its outlook. If the next earnings update confirms momentum (and expense discipline improves even modestly), it doesn't take heroics to justify mid-teens. | | 3) SentinelOne (S) — AI security at scale, now with a profitability inflection | Recent price: ~$14.29
Consensus analyst target: ~$21.90 (about +53% upside) | Cybersecurity is one of the most "real revenue" AI categories: buyers already have budgets, threats keep rising, and switching costs are meaningful. | What the latest quarter shows: | Revenue: $258.9M (up 23% year-over-year) ARR: $1,055.3M (up 23%) Customers with $100K+ ARR: 1,572 (up 20%) Non-GAAP operating margin: 7% (improved from (5%) a year ago)
| Why it can be "cheap" here
This is what bargain hunters love: growth + margin improvement at the same time.
A business doing $1.055B in ARR with expanding operating leverage shouldn't be priced like it's stuck in "forever cash burn" mode. | Near-term upside path
Management commentary and guidance matter a lot here. If they continue showing: | | | 4) UiPath (PATH) — Boring on purpose… and that's bullish when markets wobble | Recent price: ~$14.80
Consensus analyst target: ~$16.00 (about +8% upside) | UiPath isn't the flashiest AI name — and that's exactly the appeal in a "safeguard" mood. It sits at the intersection of automation + agentic workflows, with enterprise customers that prefer governance and ROI over hype. | What the latest quarter shows: | Revenue: $411M (up 16% year-over-year) ARR: $1.782B (up 11%) GAAP operating income: $13M (profitable quarter) Cash + marketable securities: $1.52B Q4 revenue guidance: $462M–$467M Q4 ARR guide: $1.844B–$1.849B
| Why it can be "cheap" here
This one is "cheap" in a different way: it's balance-sheet cheap and execution cheap.
With $1.52B in cash and real profitability showing up, PATH becomes a "sleep better" AI holding when the Dow is doing its best rollercoaster impression. | Near-term upside path
The upside isn't as explosive as the smaller names — but it doesn't need to be. Consistent beats, stable ARR growth, and improving margins can grind the stock higher while the market rotates toward quality. | | 5) BigBear.ai (BBAI) — The high-risk, high-optionality one (with backlog support) | Recent price: ~$5.82
Consensus analyst target: ~$6.00 (about +3% upside on the average target) | Let's be honest, bargain hunter: not every "under-$20 AI" name is a clean compounder. BBAI is more contract + execution + sentiment than the others — but it earns a spot because it has real backlog and defined government/defense exposure. | What the latest quarter shows: | | Why it can still be "cheap"
Backlog of $376M is not nothing for a ~$6 stock — it means the business has a runway of contracted work to fight another day. The market is discounting execution risk heavily (fair), but that also means you can get sharp moves on: | | Near-term upside path
This is the one you treat like the "spice," not the meal. If revenue begins re-accelerating while backlog stays firm, the stock can move faster than you'd expect — but it's not the same quality tier as S or PATH. | | The bargain-hunter takeaway | If you want the "safeguard" AI approach on a down market day: | Quality + scale + improving profitability: SentinelOne (S), UiPath (PATH) High-growth rerating candidates: C3.ai (AI), SoundHound (SOUN) High-volatility optionality: BigBear.ai (BBAI)
| The market loves to misprice the middle innings — where fundamentals are improving but sentiment hasn't caught up yet. That's where bargain hunters do their best work. | Disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and should not be considered investment advice.
