UiPath Stock $PATH: Why Has It Been Falling Down?

[@mda3006]

This was the 1st of your videos that I watched. Amazing content and thoughtful explanations. Cheers from Bucharest

[@Nanalyze]

Really appreciate the time you took to leave feedback. Romania is a great country with exceptionally beautiful people! ;)

[@joepiv]

Love hearing from people across this great planet. I spent the night in Hoia-Baciu once! Saw some interesting stuff there. :)

[@affel6559]

Ui Path is on my shopping list and I'm patiently waiting to get in anywhere at or below 20 usd when there is some hope it has bottomed. Great to see that it is on your radar as well. Great company. Love the growth. Love the net cash position of 1.7 Billion which is like 20 % of the market cap. Love the clear path to profitability (just look at the general trend of free cash flow going from very negative to almost break-even). The thesis is great as well. Liked your video as usual. :)

[@joepiv]

Glad to hear you liked the video! We think this is a great company as well. Good point on the cash position which we failed to mention. They made hay while the sub shined. Trying to call a bottom will be tough so we always try and use dollar-cost-averaging. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

[@robferrara969]

Love your videos and breakdowns. I haven’t bought Path yet, but will start DCA. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@Nanalyze]

Thank you very much for taking the time to give us some love!

[@pwee507]

Thanks for this video. I found it very helpful. Please keep us up to date.

[@joepiv]

Great to hear you found this useful. Given our long-term approach, we usually update on any given stock about once a year.

[@makeitcold6649]

I've enjoyed all your videos so far, hard to find detailed analysis of a lot of these disruptive tech companies that I like, that isnt just hype and fluff. Have you looked at Stem inc. (STEM) or ESS Tech (GWH)? Both are pre-revenue but mostly deal with commercial/industrial energy storage, I feel both these companies provide that recession-resistance products that can save their clients substantially on day one. Keep up the great vids!

[@Nanalyze]

Great to hear you're finding value in our content. We don't invest pre revenue, but we do cover some companies. STEM isn't pre revenue though, and we wrote about them here: www.nanalyze.com/2022/01/stem-inc-stock-solar-storage/ We may look to do a STEM video as numerous people have asked. ESS tech looks pre revenue and we haven't covered them yet. Thank you for the feedback!

I've really enjoyed all of your videos. Thank you!

Really great to hear, thank you for letting us know!

[@Damian-lz7hb]

Great video guys, you have the same thinking as me,I only try to invest in growth companies that can have a great future,well now we are suffering because most of those companies are getting crushed by the market, but I think it is a good time of acumulation.I dont invest in value plays, Im 32 , so still young imo to look for exponential growth.Thanks, and keep it up bringing those disruptive and growth stories.

[@Nanalyze]

Thank you for the feedback Damian! That's great you recognize that your youth allows you to take more risk. As they say, real wealth creation happens in bear markets.

[@adamhanninen8295]

Dang Joe you travel a lot! Great video, what do you think about hiring a virtual assistant in Manila?

[@Nanalyze]

We have some team members in PH. ;)

[@joepiv]

It's a great way to see what's really going on in the world!

[@davidbest8912]

In a bull market stocks go up the escalator. In a Bear market they come down the elevator 🤔

[@Nanalyze]

Good analogy.

[@yogabutler]

Should’ve found this sooner

[@Nanalyze]

Better late than never ;)

[@MinhNguyen-zr3mn]

Wow! My exact thesis on companies will potentially turn to Uipath for automation processing to save money while laying off people.

[@Nanalyze]

Also need to consider rising wage inflation in India and Philippines (huge BPO centers) where process driven tasks are just waiting to be automated.

[@davidbest8912]

37 Billion market cap with 600 million revenue (2021), utter madness delusional grandeur.

[@joepiv]

Some sophisticated investors went along with that valuation and there was some method to their madness. Some institutional investors made out like bandits at the same time. Few have the cojones to short into irrationality. It's the nature of the markets.

[@davidbest8912]

Market cap still over 9.9 Billion, revenue 600 million and earnings negative 100 million (2021). Got a long way to fall yet. Sub 5-4 Billion 🤔

[@joepiv]

Perhaps. That's why accumulating over time - if you choose to go long - is always a better approach than trying to time the markets.

[@daniuskac1527]

Wonderful video! This company seems to have a bright future.

[@Nanalyze]

CB Insights published a comment from a UiPath customer about how they were keen on evaluating opensource solutions. It's a reminder that no matter how great a company seems, it can always be dethroned. That said, UiPath looks like a great SaaS company that should thrive in bull or bear markets.

[@daniuskac1527]

That means UiPath should be deeply considered to invest in. SaaS are among the greatest business models.

[@joepiv]

@@daniuskac1527 The market ascribes a premium to SaaS companies for good reason.

[@daniuskac1527]

I know the meaning of SaaS after watching many videos of Nanalyze. I love the business model a lot. Thanks!

what does nanalyze think about SS&C? they acquired blue prism which is similar to uipath

[@Nanalyze]

We need several hours of research - at least - before forming an opinion about a company. That's so the opinion actually has some value for our audience. We're happy to take requests on our Discord server from paying subscribers ;)

With the new lows, do you think it is time to pull trigger on PATH?

[@joepiv]

Hey Frank. We just sent an alert to Nanalyze Premium annual subscribers.

[@davidbest8912]

TaskUs worth looking at 2.82 Billion cap 750 million revenue (2021) 🤔

[@Nanalyze]

We'll take a look, thank you.

[@jjm-2025]

Why you are comparing Microsoft vs.UIPath on the evaluation? I would be helpful if we could compare the valuation to a similar company.

[@Nanalyze]

Good question Jose. Check out the competitive diagrams in this piece: (www.nanalyze.com/2021/05/robotic-process-automation-rpa-stocks/). Microsoft is a formidable competitor in RPA. As for valuations, you can use our simple valuation ration on any stock.

[@robferrara969]

How does that formula of market cap/year revenue work for Vroom? Market cap 221 mill. Revenue $2 bill. ?

[@Nanalyze]

We don't know because that's not a stock we've covered nor plan to. An e-commerce used automotive retailer isn't really within the scope of the disruptive tech themes we focus on.

[@FAC1806]

PATH looks so attractive right now....

[@joepiv]

It's a great company. The lower the stock price goes, the more attractive it becomes.

[@florinserbabh4560]

Hi guys! Any thoughts on earnings next week? I got 1900 and dont know if i should add more

[@Nanalyze]

Hey Florin! We don't pay much attention to short term movements of stocks. Checking in with our holdings once a year is about the right cadence. Trying to speculate as to what happens at earnings time is a crap shoot. Making a decision as to whether or not to buy more shares is a function of the maximum amount of capital you want to allocate to any given position. Don't decide how much to hold based on emotion or arbitrary price targets. ;)

[@mk-ki3jc]

Still hold the same thesis on path?

[@Nanalyze]

Here's our last piece on UiPath: www.nanalyze.com/2024/04/could-generative-ai-destroy-uipath/

@@Nanalyze thank you! Didn't know you had a website.

[@Nanalyze]

The website and our subscription product is 90% of what we do. KZbin is simply one of our marketing channels.

@@Nanalyze appreciate it.

[@danbrasov]

a lot of uipath's employee's sold. thay's why the crash.

[@Nanalyze]

Not like a crash, more like a long slow slide. That could be one contributing factor.

@@Nanalyze i have a friend working there, he told me some insights

[@Nanalyze]

We got to always be suspicious of hearsay but it's interesting nonetheless. Thank you for sharing!

Snowflake valuation beyond madness.

[@Nanalyze]

We wrote about them here: www.nanalyze.com/2020/09/warren-buffet-snowflake-stock/

[@davidbest8912]

Do you cover UK stocks? Lot of people on KZbin pumping up BooHoo despite the crash. Not convince I need to see a clearly picture and positive RNS from the CEO before I would go near the stock. Be interesting to here your opinion. Lvlu Fashion (US stock) Impressive results and bullish outlook for 2022👍

[@Nanalyze]

We don't cover fashion stocks, that's for sure. So please keep your comments focused on tech stocks. Lulu's Fashion Lounge Holdings isn't of interest to us. The same goes for whatever the heck BooHoo is. Fashion adds about as much value to society as the Kardashians.

[@davidbest8912]

How about ADTH (Tech digital advertisement using AI) Of all Palantir’s SPACs has strongest balance sheet and positive revenue 🤔

[@Nanalyze]

Now you're talking turkey. We hadn't covered them as we see programmatic AdTech as playing second fiddle to Google, but we might just cover this one given that strong revenue growth you point out. Stay tuned!
