UiPath (PATH) Q2 Fiscal 2027 Earnings Preview: Key Metrics Investors Are Watching

UiPath (PATH) Q2 Fiscal 2027 Earnings Preview: Key Metrics Investors Are Watching

Key Takeaways

  • UiPath (PATH) is scheduled to report second quarter fiscal 2027 results after the market closes on Thursday, September 3, 2026.
  • Wall Street consensus projects adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings per share (EPS) of about $0.15, roughly flat with $0.15 in the year-ago quarter.
  • Consensus revenue estimates sit near $397.6 million, up about 10% from $362.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
  • Management has guided second quarter revenue to $395–$400 million, with annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $1.929–$1.934 billion and non-GAAP operating income of approximately $75 million.
  • Investors will focus on ARR, net new ARR, and dollar-based net retention after first quarter ARR rose 12% year over year to $1.901 billion.
  • AI adoption remains a central theme: 16 of UiPath's top 20 deals in the first quarter included AI components.

Why This Report Matters Right Now

This earnings update comes at an important juncture for UiPath (PATH), a leader in business orchestration and enterprise automation. The company finished its fiscal first quarter with revenue up 17% year over year, its first GAAP operating profit, and increasing AI-related deal activity. Shares pulled back afterward, however, as adjusted EPS fell short of some estimates despite the revenue beat. The second-quarter fiscal 2027 release will help clarify whether enterprise demand for automation and agentic AI is translating into sustained, accelerating recurring revenue growth. To get a broader view of how PATH compares with peers, I ran a quick check through Tickeron’s AI Screener.

What Analysts Expect

UiPath will report results for its second quarter of fiscal 2027, which ended July 31, 2026, after the market closes on September 3, 2026. Analysts expect adjusted EPS of approximately $0.15, essentially unchanged from the year-ago quarter. Consensus revenue estimates are around $397.6 million, representing growth of roughly 10% from $362.0 million in the prior-year period.

The company’s own guidance calls for second-quarter revenue of $395 million to $400 million, ARR of $1.929 billion to $1.934 billion, and non-GAAP operating income of about $75 million. For context, UiPath reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $418.38 million, up 17.3% year over year, with adjusted EPS of $0.15. I also checked this using Tickeron’s AI Screener to see how the stock compares to others in the industry. Key metrics to watch include net new ARR, dollar-based net retention, customer counts at higher ARR thresholds, and whether AI-related products continue to expand within existing accounts.

Market Sentiment Heading Into the Print

Sentiment around UiPath remains measured. After the first-quarter fiscal 2027 release in May, PATH shares slipped in after-hours trading as a modest adjusted EPS shortfall overshadowed a revenue beat and solid full-year guidance. Since then, the stock has continued to face scrutiny as investors weigh slower ARR growth against improving profitability and the company’s AI narrative. Key risk factors include enterprise budget constraints, foreign exchange headwinds, and competition in automation and AI software. A better-than-expected ARR figure or commentary on AI-driven deal expansion could shape the market’s reaction.

What to Watch in the Outlook

For the full fiscal year 2027, UiPath expects revenue of $1.776 billion to $1.781 billion, ARR of $2.058 billion to $2.063 billion, and non-GAAP operating income of approximately $430 million. The second-quarter update will show whether management remains on track toward those targets.

Investors should monitor several signals. First, net new ARR and dollar-based net retention will indicate whether existing customers are expanding their usage. Second, commentary on AI-related products, including coding agents and Maestro Case, may provide insight into how new offerings are contributing to deal sizes. Third, non-GAAP operating margin will reveal how efficiently the company is scaling while investing in growth. Finally, any updates on foreign exchange effects, public sector demand, and enterprise spending trends will help frame the outlook for the remainder of the fiscal year.

My Take on Using Tickeron’s AI Screener

When I’m preparing for reports like this one, I often use Tickeron’s AI Screener to quickly filter automation and AI-related names by fundamentals, technical patterns, and performance metrics. It helps me build focused watchlists and compare emerging opportunities without spending hours on manual work. The tool has become a regular part of my process for identifying trade ideas and staying on top of sector trends.

Netflix dropped out of a months‑long bidding war for Warner Bros Discovery after Paramount/Skydance raised their offer, and Netflix refused to match it, saying the new price was “no longer financially appealing.” The stock jumped roughly 10%+ on the news as investors read this as fiscal discipline—management chose not to overpay, which protects the balance sheet and future returns instead of chasing scale at any price.
SE shares plunged approximately 23% at Tuesday's open, marking one of the steepest single-session selloffs in recent company history. The primary catalyst was a severe Q4 2025 earnings miss: adjusted EPS of $0.63 fell well short of the analyst consensus of $0.80, a miss of roughly 21%.
Shares of Southern Copper Corporation (SCCO) are down 10.32% in Tuesday's session, trading at $196.27 versus the prior close of $218.85 — a single-day loss of $22.58 per share. The primary catalyst is a Bank of America downgrade issued on March 2, cutting SCCO from Neutral to Underperform, which triggered accelerating sell pressure into Tuesday's open.
MDB shares plummeted approximately 26.44% on March 3, 2026, closing around $238.24, down from a prior close of approximately $322.55. The primary catalyst was weaker-than-expected fiscal Q1 2027 guidance, with non-GAAP EPS projected at $1.15–$1.19 versus analyst expectations of roughly $1.46.
Shares of Battalion Oil Corporation (BATL) are surging approximately +130% in Tuesday's session, with the stock hitting a fresh 52-week high as of intraday trading on March 3, 2026. The dominant catalyst is a sharp escalation of U.S.-Israel-Iran military tensions, with Tehran restricting access to the Strait of Hormuz — triggering a spike in crude oil futures and a broad-based energy sector rally.
Shares of CRDO dropped 18.55% on March 3, 2026, falling from a prior close of $114.22 to approximately $93.03. The primary catalyst was a "sell the news" reaction to fiscal Q3 2026 earnings — despite beating consensus estimates on both revenue and EPS, the market sold off on forward margin compression guidance.
PSIX shares plummeted approximately 25.37% on March 3, 2026, closing near $64.00 versus the prior session's close of $85.75. The primary catalyst was the company's Q4 and full-year 2025 earnings report, which revealed Q4 net income fell 31% year-over-year to $16.1 million despite a 33% revenue increase.
Life360 Inc Common (LIF) stunned many traders today as the stock slid more than 20% despite reporting what, on the surface, looked like very strong results: revenue up roughly 32% year over year to about $489.5 million and the company’s first-ever full‑year profitability.
StoneCo Ltd. (STNE) shares dropped more than 15% today after the market reacted negatively to the company’s latest Q4 2025 and full‑year results and its updated outlook. While StoneCo delivered year‑over‑year revenue and earnings growth and even topped EPS expectations, investors focused on weaker‑than‑hoped revenue numbers, rising credit risk metrics, and a more cautious medium‑term guidance profile, which together triggered a sharp rerating of the stock.
Alamo Group reported Q4 2025 EPS of about 1.70 dollars, well below analyst expectations that were in the low‑2 dollar range, producing a sizable negative earnings surprise. Quarterly revenue came in around 373.7 million dollars, down roughly 3% year over year and about 7–8% below consensus estimates near 405 million dollars, signaling softer demand than the market anticipated.
Hycroft Mining Holding Corp (HYMC) shares slid more than 12% today as traders digested the company’s newly filed 2025 annual report, a major corporate update, and an extended development timeline that shifts the story further away from near‑term production and cash flow.
PicS (PICS) shares dropped more than 12% today as investors reacted to mounting concerns about valuation, elevated volatility, and uncertainty ahead of the company’s next earnings report later in March.
Shares of MOBX surged approximately +532.77% in the March 3, 2026 trading session, closing at $1.12 versus a prior close of $0.18. The primary catalyst was a major production purchase order from the U.S. Navy for components used in the Tomahawk cruise missile program.
DAKT shares are declining approximately -10% in Wednesday's session, trading near $23.91, compared to the prior close of approximately $26.57. The primary catalyst is the pre-market release of fiscal Q3 2026 earnings, in which diluted EPS of $0.06 fell significantly short of the consensus estimate of approximately $0.13–$0.15.
Shares of HRZN plunged approximately 23% in Wednesday's trading session — one of the steepest single-day declines in the company's recent history. Primary catalyst: Q4 2025 earnings released after the close on March 3 revealed net investment income (NII) per share of just $0.18, badly missing the consensus estimate of $0.26 and marking a steep sequential decline.
Palantir (PLTR) is outperforming a struggling market, rallying strongly over the past few sessions while approaching a critical resistance level near $143. With geopolitical tensions rising and defense analytics demand growing, the stock sits at a pivotal technical moment that could determine its next major move.
Investors holding record levels of protective puts means downside is heavily hedged, which often dampens crash risk but supports higher implied volatility (VIX) in the short run. The fact that the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are rising while hedging is surging suggests a “wall of worry” market: people are bullish enough to stay in, but nervous enough to pay up for insurance.
During the week of 9–15 February 2026, major U.S. equity indices finished lower overall, while Tickeron’s trending AI trading bots produced positive returns, particularly in defense and energy—two areas now directly affected by the newly opened war in Iran. With macro risk rising and volatility picking up, this divergence matters: it shows how sector‑focused, rules‑based AI strategies can still find upside when broad index exposure is negative.
Investors are furiously hedging against a potential credit market crash, just as geopolitical risk explodes with a new war in Iran. Put option open interest on major U.S. credit ETFs like HYG, JNK, LQD, and BKLN has surged to a record ~11.5 million contracts, doubling over the last 12 months and already exceeding the 2022 bear‑market peak of 10 million.
The current gap between single‑stock implied volatility and index volatility is back near October 2008 extremes, signaling that investors expect idiosyncratic risk (stock‑specific jumps) to dominate.
