Credit Suisse — U.S.-listed shares of the Swiss bank gained about 2% in the premarket. Credit Suisse said it experienced net asset outflows of 61.2 billion Swiss francs ($68 billion) during the first quarter. However, it reported 12.43 billion Swiss franc profit for the quarter thanks to the write-off of 15 billion Swiss francs of AT1 bonds.

C3.ai — Shares of the popular artificial intelligence stock fell nearly 5% before the bell after Wolfe Research downgraded shares to under perform, citing slowing revenue growth concerns.
