What did UiPath report for Q2 fiscal 2027?

According to the company’s second-quarter fiscal 2027 results release, total revenue was $410 million, up from about $362 million a year earlier. Subscription services contributed $266.1 million, licenses $123.8 million, and professional services and other $20.3 million.

ARR stood at $1.938 billion as of July 31, 2026, a 12% year-over-year increase, with net new ARR of $37 million. Dollar-based net retention was 109%. GAAP gross margin was 80%, and non-GAAP gross margin was 82%.

On the bottom line, UiPath posted GAAP operating income of $32 million and non-GAAP operating income of $89 million. Net income was about $36.1 million, or $0.07 per share on a diluted basis. Operating cash flow and non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow were each $31 million. Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $1.405 billion.

Why does this matter for PATH stock investors?

PATH stock watchers have been weighing slower top-line growth against clearer profitability. COO Ashim Gupta said the company “delivered another strong quarter, exceeding guidance across all key financial metrics,” citing operating discipline and platform momentum with customers and partners.

Founder and CEO Daniel Dines tied the outlook to AI expanding what enterprises can automate while raising demand for orchestration and governance. That narrative—AI agents plus robots plus people—is the story bulls want to see reflected in ARR and retention, not just in product demos.

A 13% revenue increase and 12% ARR growth give a concrete checkpoint after growth-worry chatter. Profitability also moved: GAAP operating income flipped from a $20 million loss a year ago to a $32 million profit this quarter.

What is UiPath’s guidance and leadership update?

For third-quarter fiscal 2027, UiPath expects revenue of $440 million to $445 million, ARR of $1.992 billion to $1.997 billion by October 31, 2026, and non-GAAP operating income of about $100 million.

For full-year fiscal 2027, the company guides revenue to $1.789 billion to $1.794 billion, ARR to $2.065 billion to $2.070 billion by January 31, 2027, and non-GAAP operating income of roughly $445 million.

On the same day, UiPath sharpened executive roles: Gupta will focus exclusively on the COO remit across sales, demand generation, and delivery; Hitesh Ramani was promoted to CFO from deputy CFO and chief accounting officer; and Brad Brubaker became chief legal and administrative officer. Yazdi Bagli, an IT and enterprise services executive at Kaiser Permanente (on leave for a Harvard fellowship), joined the board.
