Shares of software companies are trading lower amid overall market weakness on US consumer and economic concerns.

UiPath's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PATH#NYSE">PATH</a>) short percent of float has risen 10.66% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 32.51 million shares sold short, which is 7.68% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 3.77 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>UiPath Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1739301317_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for UiPath has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing UiPath's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, UiPath's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.00%, which means the company has more short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

U.S. competitiveness takes center stage in 2025 with four key investment themes—energy independence, defense innovation, infrastructure, and automation—poised to bolster portfolio growth. Global X's 2025 Investment Outlook, led by Scott Helfstein, highlights these transformative trends as critical drivers of resilience <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/us-economy">in the coming year.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Infrastructure Gets A Glow-Up</h2>
America&#8217;s infrastructure renaissance is going full throttle, with $700 billion in spending set to energize construction, equipment, and materials companies. This may bode well for investors in the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>).
These stalwarts of the old economy are reinventing themselves with cutting-edge tech to expand margins—all while trading at attractive valuations compared to the broader S&amp;P 500.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Defense Play: Beyond Jets &amp; Ships</h2>
Global tensions are driving a pivot from traditional defense platforms to high-tech solutions like AI-driven drones and cybersecurity systems. 
Palantir Technologies Inc&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) Artificial Intelligence Platform and International Business Machines Corp&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBM#NYSE">IBM</a>) WatsonX AI come to mind here.
Defense revenues are expected to jump nearly 10%, with margins climbing from 5.2% to 7.6%. Success will favor those adopting automation and next-generation technologies in this competitive landscape.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Automation &amp; Onshoring: A Tech Revolution</h2>
With the U.S. accelerating its onshoring efforts, automation and AI are emerging as the driving forces powering the shift.
Software companies and data centers are prepping for a revenue surge, with mega-cap tech upping its spending on data centers to $250 billion in 2025. 
Robotics and IoT hardware could also rebound from a sales plateau, making the automation sector one to watch. Companies enabling robotics and automation such as Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ISRG#NASDAQ">ISRG</a>), ABB (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBNY#OTC">ABBNY</a>), Rockwell Automation&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>), Zebra Technologies&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ZBRA#NASDAQ">ZBRA</a>), Teradyne (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>) and UiPath (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PATH#NYSE">PATH</a>) come to mind.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Energy Independence Goes Nuclear</h2>
Energy's next frontier? Nuclear. With mega-cap tech giants eyeing modular nuclear reactors as a green and reliable power source, demand for uranium is heating up. Beyond the U.S., countries like Japan and Germany are also jumping on the nuclear bandwagon, signaling a global shift toward energy resilience.
U.S. companies such as Constellation Energy&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CEG#NASDAQ">CEG</a>), Cameco&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) and NuScale Power&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMR#NYSE">SMR</a>) come to mind.
Helfstein's roadmap suggests a year of targeted strategies. By aligning portfolios with these U.S.-centric themes, investors might not just weather volatility—they could thrive in the chaos.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Equal-Weight on UiPath, Raises Price Target to $16

UiPath Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PATH#NYSE">PATH</a>) analysts stay mostly on the sidelines with concerns for the short-term after the company reported third-quarter financial results Thursday.
The PATH Analysts: Oppenheimer analyst Brian Schwartz maintained a Perform rating on UiPath with no price target.
RBC Capital Markets analyst Matthew Hedberg maintained a Sector Perform rating with a $16 price target.
Truist analyst Terry Tillman maintained a Hold rating with a $14 price target.
KeyBanc Capital Markets analyst Jason Celino maintained a Sector Weight rating with no price target.
JPMorgan analyst Mark Murphy maintained an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $17 to $18.
Oppenheimer on PATH: Management commentary could suggest that stabilization is expected for the company next year, Schwartz said in a new investor note.
The analyst said margin growth returning and guidance for faster free cash flow growth are positives from the quarter. The negatives were soft guidance, modest billings growth and declining net new ARR (annual recurring revenue) trends, the analyst added.
"F3Q results and guidance are unlikely to alleviate investor concerns that AI is weakening the company's moat," Schwartz said.
RBC Capital on PATH: The quarterly results showed improved execution and a stable demand environment Hedberg said in a new investor note.
The analyst highlighted the company's commentary on stabilized net new ARR in the report.
"We continue to believe PATH is likely to remain range-bound over the medium term and as execution improvement plays out and the agent vision unfolds," Hedberg said.
Hedberg highlighted UiPath's commentary on early interest from customers with over 1,000 sign-ups for the Agent Builder product.
"While we like the agent vision and improved execution, we think it will take some time to see tangible benefits from agentic solutions, and we'd like to see more proof points of stability in results."
Truist on PATH: The company's growth remains sluggish going forward, Tillman said in a new investor note.
"The story remains a work in progress in terms of improving annualized renewal run-rate and returning net new ARR to a position of solid growth," Tillman said.
The analyst said the company showed progress in the third quarter with advancing partnerships and early adoption of its agentic automation.
"Sustained execution improvement remain key to growth reacceleration, in our opinion."
KeyBanc on PATH: Initial fiscal 2026 commentary was more mixed than expected, Celino said in a new investor note.
The analyst said the commentary that net new ARR dollars are expected to stabilize could be viewed as a downtick versus consensus estimates of a modest uptick.
"In terms of macro, UiPath noted trends remain largely consistent with no noticeable signs of improvements or deterioration," Celino said.
Celino said there could be long-term opportunities, but the near-term execution and growth challenges remain near-term concerns.
JPMorgan on PATH: The company showed a positive tone with its outlook and commentary, Murphy said in a new investor note.
The analyst said the company's Second Act is centered on the Agentic Model.
"UiPath appears to be making bold moves and speaking very confidently to its Agentic vision, conveying an ability to up-level conversations with customers and elevating its platform beyond just automation," Murphy said.
The new platform could open up the company for "new growth vectors," the analyst said.
"Overall, we view the performance in the quarter as solid, and see the business as mostly stable/stabilizing."
PATH Price Action: UiPath stock is down 2.47% to $14.58 on Friday versus a 52-week trading range of $10.37 to $27.87. The stock is down 39% year-to-date in 2024.
