UiPath Inc A (PATH) fell 7.44% to $14.06 in early trading on Wednesday, marking a sharp reversal after a modest opening gap up. The stock’s decline came despite Citi initiating coverage with a Buy rating and a $23 price target, as broader market skepticism about UiPath’s ability to deliver on AI-driven growth weighed on sentiment.
What Happened
UiPath’s stock opened at $15.38, a 1.3% gap up from the prior close of $15.19. However, the stock quickly reversed course, hitting a session low of $13.85 by 9:45 AM ET. The sell-off followed a week in which the stock wrapped its worst performance in four months, even as analysts have raised price targets. The Fly and Seeking Alpha highlighted Citi’s initiation of coverage with a Buy rating, but Stocktwits News noted that analysts are still waiting for proof that UiPath’s AI initiatives can accelerate growth and improve revenue. Meanwhile, Truist Securities recently raised its price target to $17 but maintained a Hold rating. The stock closed the session at $13.98, with 11.2 million shares traded, well below its 3-month daily average.
What The Data Shows
UiPath’s fundamentals show a market cap of $7.9 billion, a P/E ratio of 22.5, and trailing 12-month revenue growth of 15%. The stock has traded between $9.20 and $19.84 over the past 52 weeks. Recent insider sales totaling $23.4 million have raised questions about confidence from key executives, with the CEO and CFO selling shares in late August. The stock has fallen 6.1% over the last eight sessions and printed 13 fresh 52-week lows on September 8. Unusual options activity also showed a notable put premium of $6.4 million, suggesting bearish positioning.
What To Watch
UiPath has no upcoming earnings date in the immediate outlook. Traders and analysts will need to monitor coverage breadth and whether the stock can stabilize above key support levels.
