New York, Feb 11, 2026, 18:22 (EST) — After-hours
- UiPath shares closed down about 9.7% on Wednesday and were little changed after hours.
- The company set March 11 for fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 results after the market close.
- Traders are bracing for guidance and any detail on the company’s banking-focused WorkFusion deal.
UiPath shares closed down 9.7% at $11.69 on Wednesday and were up 0.2% at $11.71 in after-hours trading, after a session that drew about 42.7 million shares of volume. The stock’s day range was $11.49 to $12.94, leaving the company with a market value of roughly $6.2 billion. (Investing)
The drop lands at an awkward moment for UiPath, a name that tends to move hard on thin pieces of news. There is not much on the calendar until the company reports, and the stock has been trading like investors are already positioned for a fight over the outlook.
UiPath said it will report fourth-quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 results for the period ended Jan. 31 after the market closes on March 11, then host a 5 p.m. conference call. The announcement did not include preliminary figures or new guidance. (UiPath, Inc.)
The move also stood out against a muted session for U.S. equities, with the Nasdaq slipping and broader indexes finishing near flat as investors digested a stronger jobs report and the interest-rate read-through. (AP News)
UiPath sells software that automates routine work inside companies, often by linking apps and mimicking repetitive steps that staff would otherwise do by hand. The space is crowded now, with large software suites and newer “AI agent” tools chasing the same automation budgets.
The next report may bring sharper detail on UiPath’s push into regulated banking work after it bought WorkFusion, which sells AI agents for financial crime compliance such as anti-money laundering and know-your-customer checks. “Financial institutions need intelligent solutions to combat sophisticated financial crimes,” Chief Executive Daniel Dines said when the deal was announced; UiPath said the transaction closed in its first quarter of fiscal 2027 and did not disclose financial terms.

Short sellers have also built a larger presence in the stock. Exchange-reported data showed 57.18 million UiPath shares sold short, or about 15.6% of the tradable float, and suggested it would take roughly two days of average volume for traders to buy back those positions. (Benzinga)
Short interest is the number of shares borrowed and sold in a bet the price will fall. When that number rises, it can add fuel to both selloffs and sudden rebounds if traders rush to cover.
But the coming earnings update carries risk on both sides. If UiPath points to slower subscription momentum, heavier spending tied to acquisitions, or a cautious outlook, the recent slide could deepen.
For the next session, traders will watch whether rate jitters keep pressure on smaller software names and whether UiPath can hold recent support levels after Wednesday’s break.
The next hard catalyst is March 11, when UiPath reports after the bell and management takes questions on the call an hour later. Guidance, deal commentary and any hints on customer demand will likely decide whether PATH’s latest drop sticks.
