An increase in revenues, along with operating discipline and expense management, is expected to have positively impacted the bottom line in the quarter. The current consensus estimate for earnings stands at 15 cents per share, flat with the year-ago actual figure.

UiPath’s current Earnings ESP of 0.00% and Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), however, indicates that earnings may not beat estimates in the quarter. Our research shows that the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 increases the odds of an earnings beat.
