Unity Software $U ( ▼ 3.76% ) surged 12.49% in after-hours trading on Thursday after posting surprise preliminary financial results, including some artificial intelligence growth.

Financials: Unity said it now expects revenue for the current quarter to be between $505 million and $508 million, which is higher than expected. Adjusted EBITDA is also expected to be between $130 million and $135 million.

Powering the Story: On Thursday, the company said it outperformed due to Unity Vector, its AI-based advertising platform. The company expects revenue in that AI unit to grow 15% in the first quarter. The company also announced it is sunsetting its legacy business, which is called ironSource Ads Network.

Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Unity Vector is doing well because it is improving ad performance for mobile game developers and is scaling revenue quickly across Unity’s ad network.

Final Thoughts: Unity started the year with a 61% decline in its stock price. These results could potentially spark a comeback for the stock in the future.
