Three undervalued tech stocks—UiPath, GitLab, and SentinelOne—are poised for potential 100% gains by year-end despite trading below $50, per a March 2026 analysis. UiPath (PATH) is pivoting from robotic process automation to AI agent orchestration, trading at a low 3.6x forward P/S ratio as demand for AI management platforms grows. GitLab (GTLB), with a 3.4x P/S multiple, could rebound via its hybrid pricing model and Duo Agent AI tool, positioning it as an acquisition target for cloud giants. SentinelOne (S) trades at 4x forward sales, below peers, with Purple AI and Lenovo partnerships driving growth in cybersecurity and data management. All three stocks combine depressed valuations with high-growth catalysts, making them speculative but high-upside plays in AI, DevOps, and cybersecurity sectors.

By Geoffrey Seiler – Mar 25, 2026 at 1:15PM ESTKey PointsSoftware-as-a-service (SaaS) provider UiPath has a big opportunity in agentic AI orchestration.GitLab's new hybrid pricing model and agentic AI solution could be a catalyst for the stock to rebound. SentinelOne is growing quickly, make it a strong candidate to see its stock potentially double.If you're looking for some tech stocks trading under $50 that have the potential to double this year, I've got a strong trio for you to consider. All three of these stocks are beaten down and cheap, while still showing solid growth. 1. UiPath While its stock has been caught in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) sell-off, UiPath (PATH 1.72%) has a big potential opportunity in front of it, and the stock is dirt cheap, trading at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of just 3.6 times. Image source: Getty Images. The company is in the process of transitioning from being a leader in robotic process automation (RPA) to an agentic AI orchestration platform that can manage both simple software bots and AI agents from outside vendors.

This is a big opportunity for UiPath, and if its revenue growth can start to accelerate, the stock could double given its low valuation. 2. GitLab GitLab's (GTLB 0.39%) stock has been in a downward spiral, bringing its valuation to a forward P/S multiple of just 3.4 times. That's extremely cheap for a profitable company growing its revenue in the high teens to 20% with a pristine balance sheet and solid cash flow generation. ExpandNASDAQ: GTLBGitLabToday's Change(-0.39%) $-0.08Current Price$20.58Key Data PointsMarket Cap$3.5BDay's Range$20.43 - $21.5552wk Range$20.43 - $54.08Volume117KAvg Vol6MGross Margin87.38% The bar is extremely low at this point for the DevSecOps (development, security, and operations) platform operator, and if its new hybrid seat-plus consumption pricing model (combining a fixed, recurring per-user fee with variable charges based on product usage) and/or Duo Agent solution find traction, I could see the stock doubling from here. GitLab has a valuable solution that could become more important with increased software development stemming from artificial intelligence (AI). As such, I also think there is a good chance the company could be acquired at a very hefty premium by a large cloud computing provider, SaaS company, or even private equity. 3. SentinelOne SentinelOne (S +1.88%) is another company whose stock has struggled just to gain any traction. The cybersecurity company trades at a forward P/S ratio of just 4, which is a fraction of larger endpoint security peers despite demonstrating similar growth. ExpandNYSE: SSentinelOneToday's Change(1.88%) $0.24Current Price$13.29Key Data PointsMarket Cap$4.4BDay's Range$13.20 - $13.7552wk Range$12.23 - $21.40Volume5.3MAvg Vol8.4MGross Margin73.86% The company has been seeing solid cross-platform adoption, and its Purple AI solution gained a lot of momentum. Meanwhile, an earlier deal with enterprise PC vendor Lenovo still has the potential to be a nice revenue contributor. In addition, its recent acquisitions of Prompt Security and Observo AI will help the company move beyond just endpoint security and offer a more comprehensive security and data management platform. Given its valuation, SentinelOne stock could double if it can continue its strong growth. It also has the potential to be a takeout candidate.Read NextMar 16, 2026 •By David Jagielski, CPAThis Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock Is Down Around 30% This Year.
