10 Fastest-Growing Agentic AI Stocks to Buy

In this article, we take a look at the 10 Fastest-Growing Agentic AI Stocks to Buy.

Agentic AI is moving from demo bait to early enterprise deployment, but it is not yet a mature, fully scaled industry. McKinsey’s 2025 survey found 62% of respondents said their organizations were at least experimenting with AI agents, yet only 23% were scaling an agentic system anywhere in the business, and in any single function, no more than 10% reported scaled deployment. That puts the industry in an awkward adolescence: fast uptake, uneven real-world penetration.

The growth rate is still strong. Deloitte reported that worker access to AI rose 50% in 2025, and that the number of companies with at least 40% of AI projects in production is expected to double within six months. It also said agentic AI usage is poised to rise sharply over the next two years.

The catch is that the hard part is no longer “can it do something cool?” but “can it do useful work without causing headaches?” McKinsey’s 2026 trust survey said nearly two-thirds of respondents saw security and risk concerns as the top barrier to scaling agentic AI, while 74% cited inaccuracy and 72% cybersecurity as major risks. Deloitte likewise found that only one in five companies had mature governance for autonomous AI agents.

So the outlook is strong, but not magical. The sector looks headed for real growth, especially in IT, knowledge management, and workflow-heavy enterprise software, yet the winners will probably be the firms that solve reliability, governance, and workflow redesign first.

10. Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ: FRSH)

Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ: FRSH) is one of the fastest-growing agentic AI stocks to buy.

A current read on our thesis for the stocks came on March 4, 2026, when management said at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom Conference that Freshworks’ employee-experience business had surpassed $500 million in ARR and was growing 20% year over year in constant currency. Management also said AI adoption had reached 8,000 customers contributing more than $25 million in ARR, and argued that AI products are becoming a growth driver across the platform rather than just a defensive add-on.

A product-level signal came two days earlier, when Freshworks updated its documentation around Agentic Workflows, including support for business-hours conditions. Its current Freddy AI Agent materials also highlight 50+ agentic workflows and integrations with systems such as Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, and FedEx, showing that the company is still building out more autonomous, workflow-aware tools rather than stopping at basic copilots.

Earlier, on February 10, 2026, Freshworks reported fourth-quarter revenue of $222.7 million, up 14% year over year, while full-year revenue rose 16% to $838.8 million. It also swung to full-year GAAP operating income of $13.2 million from a loss in 2024, finally putting some meat on the bones of its growth story, rather than the usual SaaS promise soup.

Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ:FRSH) provides customer and employee service software, with Freddy AI embedded across support and IT workflows.

9. UiPath Inc. (NYSE: PATH)

UiPath Inc. (NYSE: PATH) is one of the fastest-growing agentic AI stocks to buy. UiPath’s latest results gave that growth case some actual muscle. On March 12, 2026, the company expanded alliance with Deloitte to launch Agentic ERP, built around UiPath Maestro and Agent Builder. The offering is aimed at high-friction ERP workflows such as record-to-report, source-to-pay, and lead-to-cash, with UiPath saying the goal is to reduce manual work and push enterprises from assisted automation toward more autonomous execution at scale. That matters because it ties the agentic AI story to real enterprise process budgets instead of vague demo-land fairy dust.

A day earlier, the company had reported fourth-quarter fiscal 2026 revenue of $481 million, up 14% year over year, while annual recurring revenue reached $1.853 billion, up 11%. Full-year revenue rose 13% to $1.611 billion, and UiPath posted full-year GAAP operating income of $57 million, its first year of GAAP profitability. Management said enterprises are moving from AI experimentation toward scaled deployment and argued that UiPath’s mix of deterministic automation, agentic AI, and orchestration gives it a practical execution layer for complex workflows.

UiPath Inc. (NYSE:PATH) provides enterprise automation software that combines robotic process automation, AI, and orchestration tools to help organizations automate and manage business processes at scale.

8. Five9, Inc. (NASDAQ: FIVN)

Five9, Inc. (NASDAQ:FIVN) is one of the fastest-growing agentic AI stocks to buy. One of the freshest company-specific signals came on March 10, 2026, when Five9 expanded its Fusion ecosystem and introduced a new AI Agent Connect integration API designed to let enterprises connect voice AI agents with third-party systems. The point of the launch was not just another AI badge on a slide deck. Five9 said the program is meant to connect AI agents, data, and business systems so enterprises can orchestrate customer experience workflows across a broader ecosystem. That makes it a pretty direct fit for an agentic AI thesis, because the company is pushing beyond isolated chat or assist tools and toward systems that can act across workflows.

The growth backdrop is solid enough to support that angle. in late February, Five9 reported fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of $300.3 million, up 8% year over year, while full-year revenue rose 10% to $1.149 billion. More importantly for the thesis here, Five9 said fourth-quarter enterprise AI revenue grew 50% year over year. At a Morgan Stanley conference on March 3, 2026, management also said it expected double-digit revenue growth in the latter half of 2026, supported by backlog and AI adoption.

Five9, Inc. (NASDAQ:FIVN) provides cloud contact-center software and AI tools that help enterprises manage customer interactions across voice, digital, and workflow channels.

7. Salesforce (NYSE: CRM)

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) is one of the fastest-growing agentic AI stocks to buy.

On April 1, 2026,  TD Cowen reiterated a Buy rating and $250 price target after Salesforce’s Slackbot event in San Francisco, calling Slackbot a key enabling technology that could accelerate AI consumption in CRM. The caution is scale. Agentforce is growing fast, but Salesforce is already huge, so the market still has to see whether that momentum becomes material enough to move the company’s overall growth profile in a lasting way.

In late February, the company had reported fiscal 2026 revenue of $41.5 billion, up 10% year over year, while the remaining performance obligation rose 14% to $72.2 billion. The more important number was inside the AI stack: Agentforce ARR reached $800 million, up 169% year over year, with 29,000 deals closed, up 50% quarter over quarter. Salesforce also said Agentforce had consumed nearly 20 trillion tokens and generated more than 2.4 billion agentic work units to date.

The core argument for Salesforce is that it is not selling agents as a detached tool. It is trying to make Agentforce useful by plugging it into the systems enterprises already run on Salesforce: customer records, workflows, integrations, and Slack. Salesforce describes Agentforce as an open platform for deploying digital labor across customer and employee use cases, while its broader platform pitch centers on connecting data, governance, workflows, and AI agents on one system.

Salesforce, Inc. (NYSE:CRM) provides cloud-based software for customer relationship management and related enterprise functions, and increasingly positions Agentforce, Data Cloud, Customer 360, and Slack as parts of a unified AI enterprise platform.

6. Veritone (NASDAQ:VERI)

Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ:VERI) is one of the fastest-growing agentic AI stocks to buy.

On March 26, 2026, Veritone announced a multi-year agreement with Oracle to migrate its AI solutions to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Veritone said OCI would become a preferred cloud and infrastructure provider for aiWARE, Veritone Data Refinery, and Veritone Data Marketplace, which gives the company more operating support as it tries to scale that stack. The stronger proof point, though, was commercial: in the same update, Veritone said Veritone Data Refinery exited 2025 with more than $50 million in fourth-quarter bookings and a near-term pipeline, up more than 25% from its November 2025 estimate and up 250% from the fourth quarter of 2024.

The caution is that the financial update released that day was preliminary and unaudited. Veritone reported preliminary fourth-quarter 2025 revenue in the range of $18.1 million to $30.0 million and a preliminary GAAP net loss from continuing operations in the range of $37.0 million to $25.1 million, so the bullish agentic-AI case still depends heavily on execution from here.

The sharper case for Veritone is not a generic AI outlook but its argument that, as agentic AI spreads, value shifts toward the layer that governs data and orchestrates models. In mid-February, the company said its aiWARE platform and Veritone Data Refinery already operate as a model-agnostic orchestration and governance layer, handling unstructured data, routing work across models, and enforcing provenance and policy once AI agents begin acting inside enterprise workflows.

Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ:VERI) provides enterprise AI software and data solutions, with products focused on processing unstructured data such as audio, video, and images into searchable, governed, and monetizable assets.
