  "account": "ServiceNow (NOW) and UiPath (PATH) are both tech companies aiming to benefit from the AI boom. ServiceNow's revenue mostly comes from selling and supporting enterprise software subscriptions, with services like an automated conversational service desk, along with various strategic partnerships.\n\nThe company reported a strong 20.5% year-over-year increase in its remaining performance obligations, which is contract revenue expected to be recognized within the next 12 months. This number rose to $13.7 billion, showcasing ServiceNow's pricing power and resilience in a volatile economic climate. Even with recent restructuring efforts that included laying off 424 employees in California, ServiceNow maintains consistent quarterly revenue growth.\n\nUiPath, on the other hand, makes most of its money by providing a software ecosystem and technical support services for businesses to automate their digital operations. Recent additions to their service lineup include a new developer orchestration tool and an expanded software integration agreement with Snowflake. However, UiPath's revenue growth seems more typical of a seasonal pattern, with a notable 13% year-over-year increase in fiscal Q2 of $410.3 million.\n\nUiPath also experiences occasional localized software service disruptions, particularly in October, and tends to see revenue spikes around the end of the year as businesses finalize their IT budgets. Despite these fluctuations, UiPath anticipates continued sales between $440 million and $445 million in its upcoming fiscal third quarter.",
  "summary": "ServiceNow has grown revenue every single quarter over two years, while UiPath swings between seasonal peaks and troughs -- a divergence that could reshape investor expectations.",
