Why It's Important: The charts above show that ARKK and ARKG both experiences several years of strong growth and returns for investors, but have underperformed the broader S&amp;P 500 market index in recent years.
The ETFs were once among the most talked about funds, and the company&#8217;s daily trading activity often moved stocks higher, given Wood's outperformance years ago.
While the S&amp;P 500 ETF rebalances quarterly, the actively managed funds complete trades almost every day. Often, the average cost of shares rises over time for stocks that are going up, potentially hurting the gains.
Ark Funds typically invests in companies that it believes will have strong growth over the next five to ten years, which means the funds&#8217; returns can sometimes take years to pay off.
Wood has been early to many themes, including buying shares of NVIDIA Corporation for around $5 in 2014, before the most recent stock split. The fund later sold out of its position in late 2022 and early 2023 and<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/02/37294405/heres-how-much-cathie-wood-ark-invest-flagship-fund-missed-by-selling-nvidia-early"> missed out on huge gains </a>over the last nearly two years.
The fund manager was also early in the Tesla growth story, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/22/03/26046331/if-you-invested-1-000-in-tesla-when-cathie-wood-made-her-4-000-prediction-heres-how-much-youd-have-n-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">predicting a $4,000 price target</a> for the electric vehicle company back in February 2018. While Wood was laughed at for the price prediction at the time, the stock would hit the target on a split-adjusted basis in January 2021.
Getting the Tesla prediction right helped elevate Wood's status as a fund manager and led to increased interest in the Ark Funds ETFs.
Although interest in Ark Funds ETFs may have cooled in recent years, many investors still recall their impact and continue to track daily trading activity, watching closely which stocks Wood selects to hold for the next five to 10 years.

Needham Reiterates Hold on UiPath

The company recently reported that it has 23.76 million shares sold short, which is 5.61% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<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.

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.

BMO Capital Markets: UiPath's quarterly results were broadly in-line with low expectations, Bachman said in a note. This is a positive, after the previous quarter's execution challenges, amid a leadership change, he added.  
The company reported annual recurring revenues of $1.55 billion. This represents 19% year-on-year growth, but a deceleration of 2 points versus the prior quarter, the analyst stated. "We are encouraged by $850M cloud ARR, representing more than half of ARR and growing by 65% y/y, demonstrating PATH's cloud-first strategy is gaining traction," he further wrote.
DA Davidson: UiPath's fiscal second-quarter results "demonstrated early success in the company&#8217;s efforts to refocus on customer centricity," Luria said. The company raised its full-year adjusted operating income guidance from $145 million to $170 million.
"The company is laser-focused on cementing its reputation as the world&#8217;s leader in enabling actions from AI insight," the analyst wrote. UiPath had several enterprise wins and the net retention among its largest accounts remains at around 120%, he added.
JPMorgan: While there are macro uncertainties, overall conditions are stabilizing compared to the previous quarter, Murphy said. Better execution and streamlining efforts helped UiPath "adapt well to the current environment," he added.
The company indicated that "restructuring efforts primarily in its central functions, with a focus on sales operations and enablement, have enhanced efficiency and agility across the organization," the analyst wrote. Management announced "modest" raises to their full-year revenue and ARR guidance and "decent upticks for operating income and FCF guidance," he further stated.
RBC Capital Markets: UiPath showed "signs of stability," following a "sizable guide-down across the board," Hedberg said. Management raised their fiscal 2025 guidance by more than the beat. The company &#8220;continues to work towards its strategic initiatives," he added.
The company continues to focus on "realigning investments to higher ROI areas," adopting a stronger strategy for growth products, and focusing on expanding its channel partner relationships, the analyst stated. "Encouragingly, management highlighted strong early adoption and positive feedback from customers for Autopilot," he further wrote.
KeyBanc Capital Markets: UiPath reported quarterly revenue and operating margin at $316.3 million and 2%. It beat consensus of $303.7 million and 0.9%, respectively. Both gross retention and net retention declined in the quarter to 97% and 115%, from 98% and 118% in the previous quarter.
The company announced another share repurchase program of up to $500 million, the analyst stated. UiPath took its full-year guidance for operating income "meaningfully higher," implying operating margins of 12%, versus the Street estimates of 9.7%, , Celino wrote.
PATH Price Action: Shares of UiPath had declined by 5.34% to $12.06 at the time of publication on Friday.

3 High-Growth SaaS Stocks to Watch in November

The post-election uncertainties surrounding President-elect Donald Trump's proposals have fueled economic volatility. In these turbulent times, investing in stocks positioned for strong growth, such as UiPath (PATH), ExlService Holdings (EXLS), and Avanos Medical (AVNS), could be a smart move for investors seeking stability and long-term potential. Read on… With U.S. President-elect Donald Trump set to take office, the post-election landscape brings a wave of uncertainties about future policies.

For businesses, this shift means adapting to a new era of trade dynamics.
Trump also vows to address high-profile international conflicts, pledging to resolve crises involving Israel, Hamas, and Hezbollah and to end the Russia-Ukraine war within 24 hours of taking office. Regardless of the outcomes, these shifts in global power dynamics would impact businesses worldwide, as geopolitical tension often mirrors fluctuations in the stock market.

Continue reading… In the world of <a href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/midcapstock.asp">mid-cap stocks</a>, companies with a market cap between $2 billion and $10 billion are gaining attention on Wall Street as the next frontier for growth. These companies often have more flexibility and adaptability than large-cap stocks. However, in the tech sector, the mid-cap's agility and robust products make it an appealing opportunity to investors.
Below I have highlighted three mid-cap tech stocks: Open Text Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/OTEX/">OTEX</a>), Informatica Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/INFA/">INFA</a>), and UiPath Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PATH/">PATH</a>), which have more than 10% upside potential.
With Trump's victory and return to the White House for the second time, it is anticipated that the technology sector will benefit as it did in Trump's first term, helped by the administration's tax policies.
Trump's campaign has already hinted at plans to review the AI Executive Order and suggested <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilsayegh/2024/11/11/what-trumps-second-presidency-means-for-ai-crypto-and-cybersecurity/">strengthening the nation's AI infrastructure</a>, fostering an innovation-friendly environment for national security and economic dominance.

Additionally, mid-cap tech companies generally exhibit higher volatility, which means they can deliver significant returns if timed well, albeit with some inherent risks.
