UiPath (NYSE:PATH | PATH Price Prediction) is expected to report Q2 FY2027 results after the bell at 4:10 PM ET. Shares enter the report tonight at about $18.52, up around 65.05% over the past year on rising evidence that agentic AI is moving from pilot to production.
Momentum Meets a Higher Bar
Q1 FY27 delivered revenue of $418.38M, up 17.3% YoY, beating consensus by 5.26%, while adjusted EPS of $0.15 came in 5.48% shy of estimates. ARR grew 12% YoY to $1.901B on $49M of net new ARR, and dollar-based net retention ticked up to 109% from 107%.
Non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 22% from 20%, and stock-based compensation dropped to $53.3M from $76.4M. Management raised the FY27 non-GAAP operating income target to ~$430M and repurchased $243.8M of Class A stock. With PATH up over 40% in the past month, the setup rewards execution and punishes any ARR softness.

FY27 revenue growth is modeled near 10.4%, a step down from FY26’s 12.65%. FY28 revenue growth of 8.4% pairs with EPS growth of 15.8%, consistent with continued margin leverage. The Q2 EPS consensus has held flat at $0.1474 across the last 60 days, with 10 upward revisions in the past week.
What I’m Watching Tonight: ARR, Margins, and Agentic AI
Tonight, I’ll be watching the ARR results against the $1.929B-$1.934B guide. Net new ARR needs to hold or exceed $49M to keep the stabilization-to-reacceleration thesis intact. On revenue mix, 16 of the top 20 Q1 deals included AI, and AI-inclusive expansions ran six times larger than those without. It would be great to see that continue to expand.
Analysts will also focus on dollar-based net retention. It moved 108% to 107% to 107% to 109% across the last four quarters. A result above 109% validates the reacceleration narrative CEO Daniel Dines flagged on the last call.
Non-GAAP operating margin was 22% in Q1 and 31% in Q4 FY26. Guidance implies compression this quarter, so investors will focus on whether spend on coding agents, Test Cloud, and forward-deployed engineering is moving progress toward the 30% long-term target.
Also on the list: traction for UiPath for Coding Agents, the Deloitte Agentic ERP alliance, and Maestro Case orchestration momentum. Guidance credibility is the tiebreaker after Q4 FY26’s cautious FY27 outlook sent shares -8.16% the next day.
