UiPath's growth has come to a screeching halt, and I think the company could get acquired soon. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have both posted returns of roughly 10% so far in 2024. One of the biggest catalysts driving these returns is artificial intelligence (AI). While this might make the technology sector particularly tempting, smart investors know that not all opportunities are equal. One stock that got ahead of itself amid AI euphoria is UiPath (PATH -2.04%), a developer of robotics processing autom ...

The reported results were within management's guidance ranges, but a top-end revenue reading was undermined by low-range profits and downright disappointing forward guidance. The business automation expert lowered its full-year revenue forecast by 10% and the operating profit projection by 51%. Many analysts were quick to cut their price targets fo ...

Investors were responding to the abrupt dismissal of a CEO and a reduced outlook for the rest of its fiscal year. The road ahead for UiPath might not be as smooth as anticipated, but it looks like the market may be overrea ...

Otherwise, you're putting a lot of effort into a practice that could easily be accomplished by buying an index fund. Pinpointing stocks with the potential to double quicker than the market isn't easy, but it's doable. One that I've found that I'm confident will outperform the S&P 500 is UiPath ...
