If you have $5,000 in your pocket, there are better ways to try to double your money than betting on sports or going to a casino. Investing in growth stocks at cheap valuations can be a much better move. Let’s look at two growth stocks that have the potential to double your money.

UiPath (NYSE: PATH) has one of the biggest opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI) in front of it, yet the stock trades at a forward price-to-sales (P/S) multiple of only 5 times. The company seeks to become one of the leading platforms for orchestrating AI agents to help organizations manage the growing number of AI agents from various software vendors.

Coordination of various AI agents and managing the expansion of AI agents will become a major issue in the coming years. Meanwhile, UiPath’s expertise in robotic process automation (RPA), which is the use of software bots to perform simple, repetitive tasks, puts it in a strong position to lead this emerging field. This gives it a compliance and governance framework and also access to legacy systems.

The company’s new Maestro platform, meanwhile, can also help coordinate both AI agents and software bots. While AI agents are very good at handling complex problems, they are considerably more expensive than running software bots.

Maestro has the ability to manage both AI agents and bots, assigning the best tasks to each. This helps organizations save money in the long run and also keeps the current RPA solution relevant. The platform also allows customers to create their own AI agents through no-code and low-code tools.

UiPath is still in the early stages of transforming its AI orchestration platform and has recently signed several partnerships to work with leading AI companies. Its revenue growth accelerated to 16% last quarter, but that could be just the beginning. If it is, between its valuation and growth opportunities, the stock has the potential to double from here in the coming years.

SentinelOne (NYSE:S) is undoubtedly one of the most underrated cybersecurity companies on the market today. The stock trades at a forward P/S multiple of just 4.2, while it has grown revenue at a paltry 20%, with an adjusted gross margin of nearly 80%.

This is a huge discount on its larger peers such as Palo Alto Networkswhich trades at a forward P/S multiple of 12x and grew its revenue by 16% last quarter and CrowdStrikewhich trades at a multiple of 20 times analyst estimates for fiscal 2027 and saw its revenue grow 22% in fiscal Q3. Just closing the valuation gap against these peers could see its stock double.

However, the company may have just as good, if not better, technology. It is consistently ranked as one of the top endpoint security providers by the technology research company Gartnerand its remediation technology can easily bring systems back to pre-attack levels.

And as Citron Research recently pointed out, SentinelOne helped uncover the root cause of the breach behind an alleged Chinese state-sponsored hacking attack on at least nine telecommunications companies by a group called Salt Typhoon. The attack exploited vulnerabilities in Palo Alto devices, Cisco Systemsand others.

Meanwhile, the company has several potential growth catalysts. It’s the business with Lenovothe world’s largest enterprise PC vendor, to pre-install its Singularity platform on all its new PCs (personal computers) is just starting to grow. It also has a potential upsell advantage from this partnership, as Lenovo customers can upgrade to higher-level SentinelOne services such as Purple AI and Wayfinder Managed Detection and Response (MDR).

Finally, its recent acquisition of Prompt Security adds another area of opportunity, helping organizations protect against AI data leakage. If SentinelOne can continue to grow faster than its competitors and start to see more operating leverage, the stock could easily double from here.
