A figure that leaves investors with no upside potential.</p> <p>More concretely, investors getting involved with UiPath right now, will have to navigate a challenging macro environment, while<span> its stock's valuation is doomed to see its premium compress.</span></p> <p>All in all, this stock is a sell. Here's why.</p> <h2>Rapid Recap</h2> <p>In my previous analysis, I described why I reversed my bullish stance on PATH,</p> <blockquote> <p><em>I know from experience that there's no point in compounding one poor investment decision, through sunken cost biases, with another poor investment decision.</em></p> <p><em>In fact, I believe that the only way to outperform the market is by being upfront and recognizing one's mistakes. Everyone makes investment bad decisions. But the amateur blames someone else, while the professional blames themselves and works to rectify and recoup<span> their poor decision.</span></em></p> <p><em>As it stands right now, including the premarket sell-off of 30%, PATH is being priced at 50x forward operating profits. A completely unjustified premium for what it offers investors.</em></p> </blockquote> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><picture><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/8/5/17546952-1722832936397532.png\"/></picture><figcaption><p>Author's work on PATH</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>As you can see above, I was previously bullish on PATH. But when I saw its fiscal Q1 2025 results, I recognized that being bullish on PATH was a mistake.</p> <p>Consequently, rather than compounding my mistake, I believed that turning bearish was the right course of action. And now, given the recent developments in the market, I reiterate my sell call.</p> <h2>Recent Developments</h2> <p>UiPath creates software to help businesses automate repetitive tasks. This is a software business aimed at making enterprises more nimble and productive.</p> <p>Think of it like a digital assistant that can handle routine work, such as data entry. UiPath's software, often called a \"robot\" or \"bot,\" can do these mundane tasks quickly and accurately. This helps customers save time, reduce errors, and allow employees to focus on more important work.</p> <p>Furthermore, investors had bought into the idea that there would be a secular growth trend for software companies. But as it turns out, <em>software adoption is just as cyclical as other sectors</em>, it's just that investors had been willing to pay very high premiums on the assumption that growth \"was guaranteed.\"</p> <p>Most software companies have yet to report their quarterly earnings. But the few that have, have echoed comments similar to those of Mathew Prince the CEO of <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NET\">Cloudflare, Inc.</a> (NET):</p> <blockquote><p>[...] our crystal ball still shows that it's challenging sledding for the overall IT environment over the quarters ahead.</p></blockquote> <p>And you can see this reflection in investors' expectations across the board for IT software stocks</p> <p><figure><img height=\"366\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/8/5/saupload_b1f79d89154114f93036381e4aab566a.png\" width=\"635\"/><figcaption>Data by YCharts</figcaption></figure></p> <p>What you see, above, is that software stocks are decidedly out of favor with investors. And the reasons are that their growth rates are starting to peter out and moderate faster than investors had previously expected, a topic we delve into now.</p> <h2>Revenue Growth Rates Won't Get Upwards Revised</h2> <p><figure contenteditable=\"false\"><span><img contenteditable=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://static.seekingalpha.com/uploads/2024/5/30/17546952-1717050237663748.png\"/></span><figcaption><p>PATH revenue growth rates</p></figcaption></figure></p> <p>The thesis for investors had been PATH was being conservative with its guidance, and that when fiscal Q2 2025 was reported at some point in September, it would upwards revise its full-year outlook.</p> <p>But now, when UiPath reports its fiscal Q2 2025, I believe its guidance will probably point towards around 10% to 11% topline growth, and not much more.</p> <p>And what will be particularly challenging for UiPath is that its comparables in the back half of the year are so high. And this reinforces my contention.</p> <p>The best that UiPath has to offer for fiscal 2025, is now in the rearview mirror. Given this consideration, plus the doubts over its ability to reignite its revenue growth rates back to high teen growth rates, all of a sudden, this stock is unworthy of carrying such a high premium valuation.</p> <h2>PATH Stock Valuation - 41x Forward Non-GAAP Operating Profits</h2> <p>In the first instance, let's discuss the bullish aspect facing investors. More than 15% of UiPath's market cap is made up of cash and marketable securities and no debt. That is undeniably bullish and should support its valuation, up to a certain extent.</p> <p>On the other hand, for this fiscal year, UiPath may deliver around $160 million of non-GAAP operating profits. This leaves the stock priced at 41x forward non-GAAP operating profits. A figure that is too generous for a company navigating such a tough environment, together with such questionable growth rates.</p> <p>For the sake of comparison, consider that more established IT stocks, for example, <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/NOW\">ServiceNow</a>, Inc. (NOW) are priced at about 35x forward operating profits, while growing at mid-20s% growth rates.</p> <p>Altogether, UiPath's valuation is too stretched for what it offers investors.</p> <h2>The Bottom Line</h2> <p>Paying 41x forward non-GAAP operating profits for UiPath Inc. (PATH) simply doesn't make sense.</p> <p>Given the challenging macro environment and the reality of its growth prospects, investors are likely to see this premium compress rather than expand. This stock's valuation is unsustainable, especially when compared to more established IT stocks with better growth rates.</p> <div></div> <p>Therefore, it's clear that investing in PATH at this price point is unwise. Investors should look elsewhere for opportunities, as this automation isn't on the path to profits.</p></body></html>","source":"seekingalpha","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

(NYSE:PATH) is priced at 41x this year's non-GAAP operating profits. A figure that leaves investors with no upside potential. More concretely, investors getting involved with UiPath right now, will have to navigate a challenging macro environment, while its stock's valuation is doomed to see its premium compress. All in all, this stock is a sell. Here's why. Rapid Recap In my previous analysis, I described why I reversed my bullish stance on PATH,  I know from experience that there's no point in compounding one poor investment decision, through sunken cost biases, with another poor investment decision. In fact, I believe that the only way to outperform the market is by being upfront and recognizing one's mistakes. Everyone makes investment bad decisions. But the amateur blames someone else, while the professional blames themselves and works to rectify and recoup their poor decision. As it stands right now, including the premarket sell-off of 30%, PATH is being priced at 50x forward operating profits. A completely unjustified premium for what it offers investors.  Author's work on PATH As you can see above, I was previously bullish on PATH. But when I saw its fiscal Q1 2025 results, I recognized that being bullish on PATH was a mistake. Consequently, rather than compounding my mistake, I believed that turning bearish was the right course of action. And now, given the recent developments in the market, I reiterate my sell call. Recent Developments UiPath creates software to help businesses automate repetitive tasks. This is a software business aimed at making enterprises more nimble and productive. Think of it like a digital assistant that can handle routine work, such as data entry. UiPath's software, often called a \"robot\" or \"bot,\" can do these mundane tasks quickly and accurately. This helps customers save time, reduce errors, and allow employees to focus on more important work. Furthermore, investors had bought into the idea that there would be a secular growth trend for software companies. But as it turns out, software adoption is just as cyclical as other sectors, it's just that investors had been willing to pay very high premiums on the assumption that growth \"was guaranteed.\" Most software companies have yet to report their quarterly earnings. But the few that have, have echoed comments similar to those of Mathew Prince the CEO of Cloudflare, Inc. (NET): [...] our crystal ball still shows that it's challenging sledding for the overall IT environment over the quarters ahead. And you can see this reflection in investors' expectations across the board for IT software stocks Data by YCharts What you see, above, is that software stocks are decidedly out of favor with investors. And the reasons are that their growth rates are starting to peter out and moderate faster than investors had previously expected, a topic we delve into now. Revenue Growth Rates Won't Get Upwards Revised PATH revenue growth rates The thesis for investors had been PATH was being conservative with its guidance, and that when fiscal Q2 2025 was reported at some point in September, it would upwards revise its full-year outlook. But now, when UiPath reports its fiscal Q2 2025, I believe its guidance will probably point towards around 10% to 11% topline growth, and not much more. And what will be particularly challenging for UiPath is that its comparables in the back half of the year are so high. And this reinforces my contention. The best that UiPath has to offer for fiscal 2025, is now in the rearview mirror. Given this consideration, plus the doubts over its ability to reignite its revenue growth rates back to high teen growth rates, all of a sudden, this stock is unworthy of carrying such a high premium valuation. PATH Stock Valuation - 41x Forward Non-GAAP Operating Profits In the first instance, let's discuss the bullish aspect facing investors. More than 15% of UiPath's market cap is made up of cash and marketable securities and no debt. That is undeniably bullish and should support its valuation, up to a certain extent. On the other hand, for this fiscal year, UiPath may deliver around $160 million of non-GAAP operating profits. This leaves the stock priced at 41x forward non-GAAP operating profits. A figure that is too generous for a company navigating such a tough environment, together with such questionable growth rates. For the sake of comparison, consider that more established IT stocks, for example, ServiceNow, Inc. (NOW) are priced at about 35x forward operating profits, while growing at mid-20s% growth rates. Altogether, UiPath's valuation is too stretched for what it offers investors. The Bottom Line Paying 41x forward non-GAAP operating profits for UiPath Inc. (PATH) simply doesn't make sense. Given the challenging macro environment and the reality of its growth prospects, investors are likely to see this premium compress rather than expand. This stock's valuation is unsustainable, especially when compared to more established IT stocks with better growth rates.  Therefore, it's clear that investing in PATH at this price point is unwise. Investors should look elsewhere for opportunities, as this automation isn't on the path to profits.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328129603670040,"gmtCreate":1721139738971,"gmtModify":1721139749500,"author":{"id":"3579826693676471","authorId":"3579826693676471","name":"brian008","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7aaaca7b8cab4d63851e899b8cda3e77","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579826693676471","authorIdStr":"3579826693676471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nonsense.

We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. </p>\n<p> Hyliion Holdings already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of Hyliion Holdings, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too. </p>\n<figure>\n<img height=\"524\" src=\"https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/jLCbXorvQE_HVG2NQE2Njw--/cT03NTthcHBpZD15dmlkZW9mZWVkczs-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/simply_wall_st__316/65c9a1ec80f006ae5e0ff1187da1c968\" width=\"821\"/>\n<figcaption>\n  NYSE:HYLN Earnings and Revenue Growth July 15th 2024\n </figcaption>\n</figure>\n<p> Hyliion Holdings is not owned by hedge funds. The company's CEO Thomas Healy is the largest shareholder with 19% of shares outstanding. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 5.6% and 5.5% of the stock. </p>\n<p> After doing some more digging, we found that the top 14 have the combined ownership of 50% in the company, suggesting that no single shareholder has significant control over the company. </p>\n<p> Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. There is a little analyst coverage of the stock, but not much. So there is room for it to gain more coverage. </p>\n<h2>Insider Ownership Of Hyliion Holdings</h2>\n<p> While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. </p>\n<p> Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. </p>\n<p> Our information suggests that insiders maintain a significant holding in Hyliion Holdings Corp.. Insiders have a US$84m stake in this US$352m business. We would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business. You can  click here to see if those insiders have been buying or selling.  </p>\n<h2>General Public Ownership</h2>\n<p> With a 46% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over Hyliion Holdings. This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders. </p>\n<h2>Private Equity Ownership</h2>\n<p> With an ownership of 5.5%, private equity firms are in a position to play a role in shaping corporate strategy with a focus on value creation. Some might like this, because private equity are sometimes activists who hold management accountable. But other times, private equity is selling out, having taking the company public. </p>\n<h2>Public Company Ownership</h2>\n<p> It appears to us that public companies own 3.2% of Hyliion Holdings. This may be a strategic interest and the two companies may have related business interests. It could be that they have de-merged. This holding is probably worth investigating further. </p>\n<h2>Next Steps:</h2>\n<p> It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand Hyliion Holdings better, we need to consider many other factors. Take risks for example - Hyliion Holdings has  <strong> 3 warning signs </strong> (and 2 which shouldn't be ignored)  we think you should know about. </p>\n<p> If you would prefer discover what analysts are predicting in terms of future growth, do not miss this <strong>free</strong> report on analyst forecasts. </p>\n<p><small>NB: Figures in this article are calculated using data from the last twelve months, which refer to the 12-month period ending on the last date of the month the financial statement is dated.

However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. \n Our information suggests that insiders maintain a significant holding in Hyliion Holdings Corp.. Insiders have a US$84m stake in this US$352m business. We would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business. You can  click here to see if those insiders have been buying or selling.  \nGeneral Public Ownership\n With a 46% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over Hyliion Holdings. This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders. \nPrivate Equity Ownership\n With an ownership of 5.5%, private equity firms are in a position to play a role in shaping corporate strategy with a focus on value creation. Some might like this, because private equity are sometimes activists who hold management accountable. But other times, private equity is selling out, having taking the company public. \nPublic Company Ownership\n It appears to us that public companies own 3.2% of Hyliion Holdings. This may be a strategic interest and the two companies may have related business interests. It could be that they have de-merged. This holding is probably worth investigating further. \nNext Steps:\n It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand Hyliion Holdings better, we need to consider many other factors. Take risks for example - Hyliion Holdings has   3 warning signs  (and 2 which shouldn't be ignored)  we think you should know about. \n If you would prefer discover what analysts are predicting in terms of future growth, do not miss this free report on analyst forecasts. \nNB: Figures in this article are calculated using data from the last twelve months, which refer to the 12-month period ending on the last date of the month the financial statement is dated.

(NYSE:PATH) is priced at 41x this year's non-GAAP operating profits. A figure that leaves investors with no upside potential. More concretely, investors getting involved with UiPath right now, will have to navigate a challenging macro environment, while its stock's valuation is doomed to see its premium compress. All in all, this stock is a sell. Here's why. Rapid Recap In my previous analysis, I described why I reversed my bullish stance on PATH,  I know from experience that there's no point in compounding one poor investment decision, through sunken cost biases, with another poor investment decision. In fact, I believe that the only way to outperform the market is by being upfront and recognizing one's mistakes. Everyone makes investment bad decisions.

Author's work on PATH As you can see above, I was previously bullish on PATH. But when I saw its fiscal Q1 2025 results, I recognized that being bullish on PATH was a mistake. Consequently, rather than compounding my mistake, I believed that turning bearish was the right course of action. And now, given the recent developments in the market, I reiterate my sell call. Recent Developments UiPath creates software to help businesses automate repetitive tasks. This is a software business aimed at making enterprises more nimble and productive. Think of it like a digital assistant that can handle routine work, such as data entry. UiPath's software, often called a \"robot\" or \"bot,\" can do these mundane tasks quickly and accurately. This helps customers save time, reduce errors, and allow employees to focus on more important work. Furthermore, investors had bought into the idea that there would be a secular growth trend for software companies. But as it turns out, software adoption is just as cyclical as other sectors, it's just that investors had been willing to pay very high premiums on the assumption that growth \"was guaranteed.\" Most software companies have yet to report their quarterly earnings.

And you can see this reflection in investors' expectations across the board for IT software stocks Data by YCharts What you see, above, is that software stocks are decidedly out of favor with investors. And the reasons are that their growth rates are starting to peter out and moderate faster than investors had previously expected, a topic we delve into now. Revenue Growth Rates Won't Get Upwards Revised PATH revenue growth rates The thesis for investors had been PATH was being conservative with its guidance, and that when fiscal Q2 2025 was reported at some point in September, it would upwards revise its full-year outlook. But now, when UiPath reports its fiscal Q2 2025, I believe its guidance will probably point towards around 10% to 11% topline growth, and not much more. And what will be particularly challenging for UiPath is that its comparables in the back half of the year are so high. And this reinforces my contention. The best that UiPath has to offer for fiscal 2025, is now in the rearview mirror. Given this consideration, plus the doubts over its ability to reignite its revenue growth rates back to high teen growth rates, all of a sudden, this stock is unworthy of carrying such a high premium valuation.

More than 15% of UiPath's market cap is made up of cash and marketable securities and no debt. That is undeniably bullish and should support its valuation, up to a certain extent. On the other hand, for this fiscal year, UiPath may deliver around $160 million of non-GAAP operating profits. This leaves the stock priced at 41x forward non-GAAP operating profits. A figure that is too generous for a company navigating such a tough environment, together with such questionable growth rates. For the sake of comparison, consider that more established IT stocks, for example, ServiceNow, Inc. (NOW) are priced at about 35x forward operating profits, while growing at mid-20s% growth rates. Altogether, UiPath's valuation is too stretched for what it offers investors. The Bottom Line Paying 41x forward non-GAAP operating profits for UiPath Inc. (PATH) simply doesn't make sense. Given the challenging macro environment and the reality of its growth prospects, investors are likely to see this premium compress rather than expand.

Investors should look elsewhere for opportunities, as this automation isn't on the path to profits.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":246,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":328129603670040,"gmtCreate":1721139738971,"gmtModify":1721139749500,"author":{"id":"3579826693676471","authorId":"3579826693676471","name":"brian008","avatar":"https://community-static.tradeup.com/news/7aaaca7b8cab4d63851e899b8cda3e77","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"authorIdStr":"3579826693676471","idStr":"3579826693676471"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nonsense.

We would expect most companies to have some institutions on the register, especially if they are growing. </p>\n<p> Hyliion Holdings already has institutions on the share registry. Indeed, they own a respectable stake in the company. This can indicate that the company has a certain degree of credibility in the investment community. However, it is best to be wary of relying on the supposed validation that comes with institutional investors. They too, get it wrong sometimes. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of Hyliion Holdings, (below). Of course, keep in mind that there are other factors to consider, too. </p>\n<figure>\n<img height=\"524\" src=\"https://s.yimg.com/uu/api/res/1.2/jLCbXorvQE_HVG2NQE2Njw--/cT03NTthcHBpZD15dmlkZW9mZWVkczs-/https://media.zenfs.com/en/simply_wall_st__316/65c9a1ec80f006ae5e0ff1187da1c968\" width=\"821\"/>\n<figcaption>\n  NYSE:HYLN Earnings and Revenue Growth July 15th 2024\n </figcaption>\n</figure>\n<p> Hyliion Holdings is not owned by hedge funds. The company's CEO Thomas Healy is the largest shareholder with 19% of shares outstanding. In comparison, the second and third largest shareholders hold about 5.6% and 5.5% of the stock. </p>\n<p> After doing some more digging, we found that the top 14 have the combined ownership of 50% in the company, suggesting that no single shareholder has significant control over the company. </p>\n<p> Researching institutional ownership is a good way to gauge and filter a stock's expected performance. The same can be achieved by studying analyst sentiments. There is a little analyst coverage of the stock, but not much. So there is room for it to gain more coverage. </p>\n<h2>Insider Ownership Of Hyliion Holdings</h2>\n<p> While the precise definition of an insider can be subjective, almost everyone considers board members to be insiders. The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves. </p>\n<p> Insider ownership is positive when it signals leadership are thinking like the true owners of the company. However, high insider ownership can also give immense power to a small group within the company. This can be negative in some circumstances. </p>\n<p> Our information suggests that insiders maintain a significant holding in Hyliion Holdings Corp.. Insiders have a US$84m stake in this US$352m business. We would say this shows alignment with shareholders, but it is worth noting that the company is still quite small; some insiders may have founded the business. You can  click here to see if those insiders have been buying or selling.  </p>\n<h2>General Public Ownership</h2>\n<p> With a 46% ownership, the general public, mostly comprising of individual investors, have some degree of sway over Hyliion Holdings. This size of ownership, while considerable, may not be enough to change company policy if the decision is not in sync with other large shareholders. </p>\n<h2>Private Equity Ownership</h2>\n<p> With an ownership of 5.5%, private equity firms are in a position to play a role in shaping corporate strategy with a focus on value creation. Some might like this, because private equity are sometimes activists who hold management accountable. But other times, private equity is selling out, having taking the company public. </p>\n<h2>Public Company Ownership</h2>\n<p> It appears to us that public companies own 3.2% of Hyliion Holdings. This may be a strategic interest and the two companies may have related business interests. It could be that they have de-merged. This holding is probably worth investigating further. </p>\n<h2>Next Steps:</h2>\n<p> It's always worth thinking about the different groups who own shares in a company. But to understand Hyliion Holdings better, we need to consider many other factors. Take risks for example - Hyliion Holdings has  <strong> 3 warning signs </strong> (and 2 which shouldn't be ignored)  we think you should know about. </p>\n<p> If you would prefer discover what analysts are predicting in terms of future growth, do not miss this <strong>free</strong> report on analyst forecasts. </p>\n<p><small>NB: Figures in this article are calculated using data from the last twelve months, which refer to the 12-month period ending on the last date of the month the financial statement is dated.
