IonQ and UiPath may experience significant growth over the coming decade.
Investing in stocks that are in the early stages of growth can yield substantial returns over time. Although these investments come with increased risks, successful execution can lead to impressive long-term gains. Let’s explore two promising growth stocks worth considering for long-term investment.
1. IonQ
IonQ (IONQ +4.23%) is positioned within the evolving field of quantum computing, still in its nascent stages. While considered speculative, IonQ could potentially become a significant player if it succeeds. Two key aspects make its future promising.
Firstly, IonQ’s trapped-ion technology boasts an impressive 99.99% fidelity (accuracy rate). While other methodologies may be quicker, many lack the precision needed for widespread commercial viability in quantum computing, which requires essentially error-free performance.

Another appealing aspect of IonQ is its strategy to develop a comprehensive quantum computing ecosystem. The company leveraged its high stock price in early 2025 to raise significant capital, which will finance research and facilitate key technology acquisitions.
A noteworthy acquisition was LightSynq, which provided photonic interconnect technology, enabling the linking of “small traps.” This approach allows IonQ to efficiently scale its systems while managing the number of ions in use.
2. UiPath
UiPath (PATH 3.11%) is emerging as a vital player in the realm of agentic artificial intelligence (AI). Initially recognized for robotic process automation (RPA) using software bots for repetitive tasks, UiPath has developed an AI agent orchestration platform named Maestro.
Maestro distinguishes itself by enabling users to create AI agents through no-code and low-code tools while primarily addressing management of all AI agents and bots within an organization. As businesses increasingly adopt various AI agents, managing this “agent sprawl” will become critical, and UiPath aims to fill that gap.

Additionally, UiPath’s platform is designed to manage both AI agents and software bots, allowing organizations to optimize task assignments based on cost-efficiency. Recently, the company experienced a revenue growth acceleration to 16%, up from 14% in the previous quarter. The stock is currently attractively priced, with a forward price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 5 times, supported by a robust balance sheet.
If UiPath can solidify its position as a leader in AI orchestration and maintain its growth trajectory, it has the potential to be a significant long-term investment.
