On Friday, the stock price increased by more than 26%, following the company's release of quarterly earnings that surpassed both the top and bottom-line expectations of Wall Street analysts.
The company's revenue for the quarter ending Oct. 31 was $325.9 million, higher than the LSEG, formerly Refinitiv, estimate of $315.6 million. Additionally, the adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.12, exceeding the analyst projection of $0.07.
UiPath has updated its forecast for annual recurring revenue for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024. Its ARR increased by 24% compared to the previous year, reaching $1.38 billion. Companies that heavily rely on subscriptions, such as UiPath, use ARR as a crucial metric to determine their recurring revenue.
UiPath closed at $25.04 per share, a 52-week high.
The company's strategy to target new businesses was well-received by analysts, resulting in a successful ARR raise.
Analysts from Davidson reported that their strategic bet, made a year ago, on providing value to large clients with the longest and broadest automation journeys, is paying off. These customers are contributing significantly to the company's growth.
UiPath's growth prospects were highlighted by Bank of America analysts, who noted the company's expansion into new areas such as retail, IT, and manufacturing.
In Q1, we anticipate a significant increase in key growth indicators, including ARR and NRR, as we compare our performance to the small business segment.
UiPath's integration of generative artificial intelligence is believed by Davidson analysts to be a factor contributing to the increased adoption of the platform.
The integration of Generative AI into the company's automation platform is increasing enterprise adoption, according to analysts.
