3. UiPath Inc. (NYSE:PATH)

Decline From 52-Week High: 30.80%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 48

UiPath Inc. (NYSE:PATH) differs from the physical robotics companies on this list because its automation technology operates primarily through software. The company is increasingly integrating robotic process automation with AI agents and enterprise workflow orchestration, extending its capabilities beyond repetitive rule-based tasks.

The investment question is whether this transition can strengthen UiPath’s existing business while creating additional commercial opportunities. In its second-quarter fiscal 2027 results, revenue increased 13% year over year to $410 million, while annualized renewal run-rate reached $1.938 billion, an increase of 12% year over year.

UiPath also reported GAAP operating income of $32 million and held approximately $1.405 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. These figures provide a stronger financial foundation than that of many smaller automation businesses still operating at significant losses.

Nevertheless, its dollar-based net retention rate of 109% shows that expansion within the existing customer base remains an important area to monitor. Growing competition in enterprise AI also makes product differentiation particularly relevant. For investors, the central issue is whether UiPath can convert its agentic AI strategy into sustained subscription growth without sacrificing its recent progress in profitability.

2. Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE:RRX)

Decline From 52-Week High: 36.55%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 62

Regal Rexnord Corporation (NYSE:RRX) provides investors with a more diversified approach to automation through motion-control technologies, precision motors, drives, and industrial power transmission systems. Its products support factory automation and other industrial applications, while its broader operations reduce dependence on any single robotics market.

The company’s second-quarter 2026 results showed signs of improving demand, with daily orders increasing 8.8% year over year and organic sales rising 3.3%. Free cash flow reached $154.1 million, providing an important distinction from automation companies whose expansion remains heavily dependent on external financing.

However, the profitability picture requires closer examination. Regal Rexnord’s adjusted EBITDA of $366.6 million included a $32.0 million benefit related to IEEPA tariff refunds. This makes it important not to attribute the entire reported improvement to recurring operational gains. Leverage also remains a consideration, as the company reported that net debt to adjusted EBITDA, including synergies, stood at 3.06 times at the end of the quarter.

For investors, Regal Rexnord’s appeal lies in its established industrial operations and cash generation. Its ability to reduce leverage and deliver consistent underlying growth will be important in assessing the sustainability of its recovery.

1. Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:TER)

Decline From 52-Week High: 43.77%

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 82

Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:TER) combines robotics exposure with an established semiconductor testing business, making it a distinct proposition among companies developing automation technologies. Its robotics operations include Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots, which serve manufacturing and warehouse customers.

What distinguishes Teradyne is that its robotics opportunity sits alongside a much larger testing business. In its third-quarter 2026 results, Semiconductor Test generated $1,072 million in revenue, compared with $96 million from Robotics. This demonstrates that semiconductor demand, particularly demand connected to AI infrastructure, remains a considerably larger driver of the company’s financial performance.

Nevertheless, the robotics business delivered its highest third-quarter revenue to date and achieved profitability. That development is important because it indicates progress toward making robotics a financially productive part of Teradyne’s operations rather than merely a longer-term growth initiative.

The company also reported total quarterly revenue of $1,306 million, up from 769 million in the prior year period, benefiting substantially from semiconductor testing demand. For investors, Teradyne offers exposure to two distinct technology markets. Its robotics business is improving, but the company’s overall investment case remains closely linked to semiconductor spending and the durability of demand across its testing operations.
