C3.ai (NYSE:AI) stock is on the move Friday after Deutsche Bank analyst Brad Zelnick slapped shares with a $16 price target.

That price target is a reiteration of Zelnicks prior feelings on AI stock. To go along with it, the Deutsche Bank analyst also reiterated a sell rating for the companys shares. This follows an investor day presentation earlier this week that failed to impress the firm.

Zelnick said the following about the presentation in a note to clients obtained by CNBC:

While we appreciate the vast opportunity presented by AI, the event did nothing to ease our skepticism on the true differentiation of the companys platform, its traction with customers or its ability to hit its constantly evolving financial targets.

Deutsche Banks price prediction and rating for AI stock are overly bearish compared to peers. The current analyst consensus includes a median price target of $23.50 per share alongside a hold rating.

Investors will also keep in mind how much AI stock could fall based on the recent price prediction. If the stock does indeed drop to $16 per share, it would represent a roughly 57% decline from the stocks prior closing price.

With this bearish stance for AI stock, shares are falling 10% in Friday morning trading. However, those shares are still up by around 200% since the start of the year.
