UiPath shares dropped Friday over fears of AI rivals.
Revenue grew 13% to $410 million.
Analysts see Salesforce-Anthropic as a threat.
What happened
UiPath shares fell on Friday after its quarterly results failed to calm investor fears about AI-powered rivals. Revenue rose 13% year over year to $410 million in its fiscal 2027 second quarter ending July 31.
Why it matters
Analysts worry that Salesforce's partnership with Anthropic could take business from UiPath. Canaccord Genuity downgraded the stock to hold, saying the competitive landscape is intensifying faster than reported numbers show.
What to watch
CEO Daniel Dines says UiPath will use AI where it creates value and deterministic automation where exactness matters, aiming to keep customers from paying for AI reasoning at every step.

UiPath's drop reflects a broader investor worry: even strong growth may not protect a company when tech giants move into its space. Salesforce's partnership with Anthropic is a concrete example of that threat, and analysts like Kingsley Crane see the pressure building faster than financial reports can show.
UiPath's own numbers show a healthy business—revenue up 13% and operating income up 43%—but the market is looking ahead. The challenge is not today's sales but tomorrow's positioning. CEO Daniel Dines argues that UiPath's mix of AI and deterministic automation keeps customers from overpaying for AI reasoning, giving it a cost advantage that could matter as competition intensifies.
