The business delivered a solid beat against Q1 guidance and raised the guidance for 2023 across the board. Schwartz adds. Negatively, the top-line raise is below the Q1 beat and cash flow margins continue to be depressed amid internal and external challenges, he points out. While the analyst recognizes that competitive threats remain elevated and execution risk further overhangs the stock, he believes that UiPath's RPA technology is market leading and still seeing strong demand as evidenced by the fast growth and strong net retention trends in recent quarters.
