NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 20:43 ET — Market closed
- UiPath shares closed up 0.1% at $16.85 on Monday.
- CEO Daniel Dines disclosed sales of 135,000 shares under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, a filing showed.
- Traders are watching year-end liquidity and the stock’s scheduled S&P MidCap 400 inclusion on Jan. 2.
UiPath shares ended little changed on Monday after a regulatory filing showed Chief Executive Daniel Dines sold stock under a prearranged trading plan.
The disclosure matters heading into the final sessions of 2025, when liquidity can thin out and stocks can swing on incremental news. It also lands days before UiPath is due to be added to a major U.S. mid-cap index, a change that can prompt passive funds to rebalance.
Insider sales do not necessarily signal a change in fundamentals, but they can weigh on sentiment when a stock is in focus for index-driven flows and recent gains.
UiPath closed at $16.85, up about 0.1% on the day. The stock traded between $16.37 and $17.35, with about 33.8 million shares changing hands, according to LSEG data.
Dines sold 45,000 Class A shares on Dec. 29 at a weighted average price of about $16.44, and also disclosed two earlier sales of 45,000 shares each on Dec. 24 and Dec. 26. The three transactions totaled roughly $2.26 million, and Dines still holds about 28.6 million shares directly plus additional shares held indirectly, the Form 4 showed. “These shares were sold in compliance with a qualified selling plan,” the filing said.

Rule 10b5-1 plans are pre-scheduled trading arrangements that executives use to sell shares at set times, which can reduce the risk that transactions are seen as tied to nonpublic information.
UiPath is set to join the S&P MidCap 400 before the open on Jan. 2, replacing Synovus Financial, S&P Dow Jones Indices said in a notice. Index additions can create short-term demand as funds that track the benchmark adjust holdings. 1
The automation software maker last reported results on Dec. 3, when it posted revenue of $411 million, up 16% year on year, and annual recurring revenue (ARR) — a common software run-rate metric — of $1.782 billion, up 11%. The company also guided for fourth-quarter revenue of $462 million to $467 million and ARR of $1.844 billion to $1.849 billion as of Jan. 31, 2026. 2
UiPath’s “robotic process automation,” or RPA, software helps companies automate repetitive digital tasks. It competes for enterprise automation budgets with larger software vendors and platform providers, including Microsoft and ServiceNow.
Broader markets offered little support. Wall Street’s main indexes finished lower on Monday, with the S&P 500 down 0.35% and the Nasdaq off 0.50% as heavyweight technology stocks retreated ahead of year-end, Reuters reported.

Before Tuesday’s session, traders will be looking for any follow-on disclosures around insider transactions and for positioning tied to the upcoming index change. With U.S. markets closed on Jan. 1 for New Year’s Day, investors also expect lighter volumes into the turn of the year.
Macro data could still set the tone for risk appetite in software names. The U.S. calendar includes releases over the next few sessions, while the next monthly employment report is scheduled for Jan. 9, according to the Labor Department’s calendar. 3
On the chart, traders are likely to watch Monday’s high near $17.35 as a near-term resistance level and the session low around $16.37 as support. A break either way could draw momentum flows in thin trading.
