§2 Cenário pessimistaEN
A recessionary enterprise software budget freeze coupled with Microsoft bundling forces drastic pricing cuts. Base case growth of 9% plummets to 0%, while fixed R&D and SBC costs severely destroy GAAP margins.
Microsoft and other hyperscalers aggressively commoditize traditional RPA, stalling UiPath's growth and forcing severe margin compression, dragging fair value down to $8.05.
