UiPath: The Robot Uprising (Maybe)

So, UiPath (PATH 4.98%). Another tech stock promising the NEXT BIG THING. They’re down 80% from the peak, naturally. A bloodbath. But hold on… they’re fiddling with “agentic AI.” Sounds ominous, doesn’t it? Like the robots are finally getting organized. They claim it’s more than just a chatbot – it acts. Completes tasks. Without…us. Frankly, the whole thing reeks of desperation, but let’s dig in before the singularity hits.

The market, they say, is going to EXPLODE. Five years. Billions. The usual hype. But here’s the kicker: 365,000 processes orchestrated by these digital overlords. Hundreds of companies hooked in. And a 98% retention rate? That’s not loyalty, folks, that’s digital Stockholm Syndrome. They’re trapped. And management is supposedly “executing.” Meaning they’re squeezing out a 21% adjusted operating margin. Profits! The only religion that matters on Wall Street. It’s enough to make a man question reality.

Agentic AI. The phrase itself is enough to induce a headache. They’re not just answering questions anymore, they’re doing things. Completing tasks. Without human intervention. Like a digital army of efficiency, marching towards… what exactly? Mordor Intelligence projects $57 billion by 2031. FIFTY-SEVEN BILLION. That’s enough to buy a small country. Or at least a really good collection of vintage motorcycles.

Analysts expect 26% annualized growth. Twenty-six percent! In this economy? It smells…fishy. But the stock is trading at 21 times 2026 earnings. Undervalued, they say. A steal. It’s the siren song of the market, luring you in with promises of riches while quietly preparing to gut you. I’ve seen this movie before. Too many times. But hey, maybe this time it’s different. Maybe the robots really are taking over. And maybe, just maybe, we deserve it.
