Is UiPath Inc. (NYSE:PATH) a buy in 2026?
Hold. UiPath Inc. is a wait-and-watch at today's price, not a fresh buy.
RPA pioneer caught between a fading legacy bot business and an agentic AI future where it's no longer the obvious winner.
Where PATH is headed
UiPath in mid-2027 will be a different company than the one that IPO'd at a $35B valuation in 2021. The core RPA business (the screen-scraping bots that automate invoice processing and HR onboarding) is maturing into a low-growth annuity. The real question is whether Maestro and the agentic platform (the orchestration layer that lets AI agents, bots, and humans hand work to each other) becomes the spine of enterprise automation or just another feature inside Microsoft Copilot Studio and ServiceNow's AI Agents.
