He said UiPath’s AI-driven product capabilities are growing and there is a clear path toward long-term profit margins. Customers generating over $5 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR) now account for about 20% of total ARR. “We believe the largest cohort of customers has grown significantly from under 10% of revenue four years ago,” Berg wrote. Berg noted that about 90% of customers spending over $1 million in ARR use an agentic AI offering. Management targets a long-term operating margin of over 30%, mainly through sales and marketing efficiency.

It’s also 5.9% below the 100-day SMA and 6.2% below the 200-day SMA, keeping the longer-term posture cautious until price can get back above those zones. The bigger-picture moving-average structure is mixed: the Golden Cross in August (50-day SMA above the 200-day SMA) is a longer-term positive, but the stock’s current position below both longer-term averages suggests that signal hasn’t translated into sustained follow-through yet.
